Last but not least, the tiefling tempest cleric Kallista (played by me!).

Greyish blue resin with silver mica swirls and gold sparkle highlights. This is probably the most unpredictable set of them all with how much the gold can change from pour to pour, which feels like a metaphor to unpack 😅

Character are of Kallista by Mikyl Sandoval. She is a tiefling with light blue skin and dark blue shoulder length hair. Her left horn has cracks that have been filled in with gold. She is wearing a chainmail tunic and holding a warhammer with lightning coming off of it.

Shimmery light blue with streaks and swirls of copper, with metallic black numbers and copper for the high faces.

It's your best friend, the alchemical artificer Wynni! @evaserrate.bsky.social sent me what could only be described as an unhinged yet perfect mood board collage to go off of.

Shimmery teal mixed with an unholy amount of red foil. Is the foil red drink? Chaos tonic? An homage to Kurtulmak? Yes!

Character art of Wynni by Mikyl Sandoval. She is a teal green sea elf with darker teal hair in high pigtails. She has an absurd number of pouches and belts with an equally absurd number of vials of colored liquids.

First up - the siren storm sorcerer Scarlett Shours (you gotta count out the alliteration on your fingers when you say it or it doesn't count) played by @kayemcea.bsky.social.

Pink resin with flashes of mylar & glitter, and metallic teal numbers. Pics look more neon than they actually are I swear.

Character art of Scarlett by Mikyl Sandoval. She is a siren with light skin, pink hair, and a prosthetic arm conjuring some golden lightning. She is wearing a teal off the shoulder top with transparent sleeves and tight black patterned pants with lace up details at the back and sides.

I am soooo pleased with Acacia's dice 🥺💜

Long Dog Dice @longdogdice.com · 5h

Everyone's favorite literal horse girl - Acacia, the circle of stars druid / soulknife rogue played by @archmageofdice.bsky.social.

Grey resin with colorshifting mica swirls and a hint of glitter, with stars and handpainted golden rings to represent her armillary sphere casting focus!

Character art of Acacia by Mikyl Sandoval. She is a centaur with brown and white hair in a long braid holding a celestial themed armillary sphere. She is wearing a brown leather armor vest with matching braces on her forearms and a shawl draped behind her and over both of her arms.

The dice set from the previous photo in an open palm outside in the sunlight. You can see the mica and glitter better in this view.

This has been a much longer process than I had hoped or anticipated but they're done. They are finally done.

The whole @swordandkey.bsky.social Horizon's Call crew now has full dice sets!

A jumbled collection of 5 different dice sets spread out in a pile. They are representative of the 5 party members in Sword and Key's dungeons and dragons campaign Horizon's Call. Individual set photos will come in a later post.

So I'm opening an Etsy just to tide me over until I get a new job, so this among other items will be up for sale 🙂

I did it!!!

Zipper is a bit messed up in comparison to how I wanted it to be, but this is my first time making a bag and sewing a zipper, so it's okay 🥰

I made this to use up some of the scraps from another project, but have no idea what to make out of it, any suggestions?

Originally was thinking a small bag?

(Also look at my pressed seams!! First time I tried folding/pressing them out instead of to the side)

A 6x6 grid of fabric (each square approximately 2 inches on each side) in a variety of black white and yellow patterned fabric sitting on a wooden table

The same fabric grid from the previous photo, but the reversed side to display the neatly pressed seams
