Discordian Jewellery - Any Interest?

I've been wondering about maybe making some discordian themed jewellery. Thing is I don't have a lot of cash myself, and it's a pricey business, so I thought I'd look around and see if there'd be any interest if I did produce some stuff. Here's a quick sample prototype of one of my pendant designs, any questions or comments would be much appreciated!

BADGE OF HONOR

The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

that just makes it better :D

interest, yes.
money, no.

That looks like a butt.   :lulz:
Like I said, it's a prototype so a couple of the lines could still use a little smoothing.

I'd have to see a few more prototype designs before offering to buy. Also, how much do you predict a piece of jewelry would cost?

I'm not normally into outward displays of Discordianism, but, well... I'm a sucker for rings. I haven't had nice one that fits my hand in ages.

Destriarch

Costs would depend on the material it was made from, effectively. The last circular pendant I made would have cost about $35 to $40 in silver, but this design is thinner than that was so I'd expect something in the region of $30. Naturally it'd be more expensive in gold and cheaper in brass, both of which I should be able to get depending on preference. I'd need at least a few interested parties before I could get started making them though, since the initial casting of a master would be pricey enough for me and I'd need enough reasonably certain profit to cover my expenditure. It sucks being poor.

If you have any ideas that you think would improve the design, I'd love to hear them.

I think a thing that you stick on your car in a similar vein to the masonic circle things would be kinda neat.
re: the design, apples generally don't have a crease that goes down the side like a peach does.  and a leaf would make it more immediately identifiable.

I'm interested, though the money thing could be an issue for me. I miss my disposable income.  :x Back when I was still flush, I was shopping fo a golden apple pendant.

And yeah, nix that crease, apples don't have one.

Apples have a circular crease at the top, while making the broad part smooth, you could give a 3d effect and a leaf to the stick, making it more apple shaped. Maybe an angle like in this photo.



Would buy one if I had the money.
I thought this is all there is,
but now I know you are so much more.
I want to upgrade from my simple eight bits,
but will you still love me when I'm sixty-four?

For the record, a "circular crease" is called a "dimple".

I like supporting artists.  Got anything else?

Mesozoic Mister Nigel

If you like supporting artists, some of you fags should buy my beads.

I swear, I've never seen an economic slump like this one.
