I have permission from Cyan to sell these! What I'm still working on is the process for making them in small batches rather than one at a time. They're red brass (a copper-rich brass alloy) that I etch, then flame-patina, selectively remove the patina on the raised areas, and polish.
I'd like to know who's interested in buying them--not to take preorders, but to get a rough idea of how many to make. They'll be $45 for the "full package" (with an antique-looking leather cord and nifty locking magnetic clasp) or $25 for just the disc (for DIY projects, attaching to journals, costuming, etc, and I'm happy to drill some holes for attaching to jump rings--this is the way to go if you want to use your own chain instead of the leather cord).
These are 1.5 inches in diameter, which so far is the smallest that the detail still shows up well. I make no promises about trying to make them any smaller, but might be convinced if there's interest.
So if you're interested in having one of these, let me know! I'll post here again when they're actually available
I would love to have one of these and will definitely spend 25 / 45 on one!!!! I know you said you would but I am so excited that I feel the need to remind you: keep us posted!!!
Riven is such a rich memory to me, I've been looking everywhere for something I can always keep with me to remind myself of that amazing adventure. Are you still working on this project? I'm very much willing to pay if you are.
Stunning! It's simply beautiful the level of detail that you managed to get into it, looks like the real deal! Whenever you make these available for purchase I'll place an order straight away for at least 5. Would fit perfectly on the cover of a replica book
finally someone has done this! they look really breautiful! for the pendat version what do you think about making them a bit thicker, to give them sort of a coin-y, medal-like feel?
Just curious, how big in diameter is the disc?
