I get a lot of designs from Google image searching. Post the inspiration and end result.

a veniom-hung blown glass phial

The small phial is made from an onyx-hued glass blown into a wide bulb with a tapering but rounded tip. Small silver flecks are dispersed throughout the glass, while seven slightly larger flecks form the Jackal constellation. Silver veniom wire is coiled around the neck with two symmetric spirals extending outward, and a thin black veniom thread allows the phial to be worn around a wearer's neck.

an onyx-studded black leather sporran

Black leather has been riveted together to create the body of this pouch. The inside of the sporran has been lined with a thick coat of bear fur, cushioning its contents. An onyx-studded leather strap is secured to either side of the container, allowing enough length to be comfortably wrapped around the waist of a giantman. A heavy flap folds over the opening and is secured by small, crossed rolaren battle hammers pin.

a sharkskin and argent silk gown ~ Twin lengths of brilliant silver silk fall from a single sharkskin strap to cross over the front and create a deeply plunging neckline, leaving the shoulders, back and sides bare. Crafted to pass behind the wearer's neck, the ebon sharkskin descends further to wrap twice about the lower torso to bind the gown in place before the delicate silk melds together to create a full, floor-length skirt.

a sleek scaled raven silk gown ~ Glistening softly in the available light, a multitude of fine dark opalescent scales sheath the slender gown from low-cut neckline to trailing hem. Twin black velvet straps arch high across the deeply plunging open back, a polished onyx cabochon trailing a fan of delicate platinum chains where they meet.

Behold!

http://trilliumcg.com/mattsworld/Images/trogdor.jpg

a majestic dragon carving ~ From its tiny spindly legs to the sinuous S-shaped curve of its body to the single muscular arm protruding from the back of its neck, this unlikely dragon somehow has an aura of majesty. Its jaws are open in a roar, or perhaps to breathe fire, revealing a mouth full of sharp, irregularly-spaced teeth. Its eyes are beady, its brow furrowed in anger, and its disproportionately small wings are splayed in a gesture of defiance.

There are a bunch of similar ones on this site, but I don't think the original is there anymore

a ringleted silver coronet

Skillfully constructed of alternating larger silver rings and clusters of smaller rings, this circlet drapes delicately. A tiny selanthan bloodjewel is inset into the center of each of the three clusters of rings at the front of the piece. Two fine silver chains sweep back in arcs from the coronet to be held just above the wearer's temple and reconnect again just behind the ear.

a blush-hued chiffon chemise, Cleanly tailored, wispy, blush pink chiffon overlaid upon white silk makes this simple garment stand out in brilliant hue. Pin-tucked at the shoulders and in the center, the neckline exposes the collar bone and neck of the wearer tastefully. Subtly fitted lines hug the bodice and lead seamlessly into a fluid floor-length skirt. Golden jacquard trims the hem and edges the lacings that run from elbow to wrist of the tapered sleeves.


I put a little more into it, but I got the idea from this picture

LK flask. For Dwarves:

http://images.theknot.com/blimages/P1815_m.jpg

Definitely cannot get.

That's way too fancy for a dwarf. That's more a human flask.

As for the design, Whenever I pictured a white flask in my head, that's almost exactly what I thought of... not sure if there's a description, never looked hard enough.

As for a dwarven flask... They are very good craftsmen with metal materials. And they take their drinking very seriously so it would probably be quite ornate. But not 'pretty' like that...

I can't find one quite right... but I could see a gnome or dwarf pulling this out:

I always picture the flask from the manual art for Dragon Warrior... I can't seem to find it in a quick search, but maybe I'll try harder later. It looks like the flask anticor posted, except clearer and more square than coffin shaped.

The flask Anticor posted is so bad-ass that I had to go back a page because whatever botched attempt at wittiness I was going to quick reply with was lost with the C&H signature. Something is awesome, not me. But something.

I can't find an actual picture of the rock hammer, so here's Tim Robbins

a small rock hammer

Made of steel-hued solid imflass with a haft no longer than the length of an average-sized elven hand, the hammer makes an effective tool for breaking and carving rocks. Its square head and picking face have been chipped and slightly dulled from many years of use, but its polish has been maintained.

You remove a small rock hammer from in your black marbrinus carryall.

You close a stylish black marbrinus carryall fastened with an ember-hued firestone.
>skin dw
You break through the crust of the krag dweller's rock hard hide and withdraw a brilliant purple opal!
The krag dweller crumbles away into dust.

an ornate imflass-bladed espadon

SHOW: Crafted from nearly four feet of sturdy imflass the long, keen blade sports two curved notches on each side, accenting a tri-lozenge fuller. An intricately woven network of imflass and crimson eahnor curves in the shape of a heart, forming the ornate crossguard of the sword. The hilt tapers downward ending in a spherical bloodjewel pommel. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.

And from this, I was inspired for this:

a draped platinum choker(Show: Set with a hidden hook-and-eye closure, the layered peacock centerpiece of the necklace dangles a quintet of platinum rope strands. They drape gently to encircle the wearer's neck. Posed in all his regality, the peacock's tail feathers are open and fanned, displaying tiny blown-glass jewels in various hues of cerulean, royal blue, mauve, canary yellow and pale green. Each jewel has been bezel-set, refracting light in a myriad of colors.)

Heh.. well, it started the idea for a peacock something or other.

an ornate concave-hilted knife

The blade of the knife is made of a polished silver vultite forged with two diamonds near the hilt before extending to a thin sharpened point. Both the golden concave hilt and blade are etched with black symmetric lines that complement the knife's unusual shape, while the grip is wrapped in a soft leather. The pommel is capped with a small golden jackal head.

It's still a continued part of the Landing katana quest to wrap the core in shark skin, so unless they want to go through and change that whole speech to exclude that...

...well, they -did- pull the cashmere skeins of yarn out of the knitting shop after they decided to ban "cashmere," so I guess I wouldn't put it past them.
