Random Alteration Ideas
I get a lot of random items made and have some folks who have inquired about idea help. I just started a new position at work and am going back to school in the fall, so I am not sure how much time I'll have to go run around and get alterations, but I still keep coming up with random ideas from time to time. I figured I might just start posting them here and if people want to use them or a modified version of them, to feel free. Though I'd like to know if/when someone does and what the final description looks like. These ideas might be for specific item types, partial ideas, fully formed, whatever.
a single silk-draped pauldron fashioned from black gold-framed stained glass
A pair of skull-impaled pauldrons - A pair of blackened pauldrons have been fashioned from crude iron, the metal irregular in places indicating slipshod craftsmanship. A number of spikes stud the pauldrons with a single larger spike pointing directly up from each pauldron. Impaled on the two larger spikes are a pair of humanoid skulls, the yellowing bone and scraps of skin suggesting they were left to rot over time.
a silver boney claw-like handflower - Segmented links, each comprised of a highly detailed silver bone, are joined together to fashion a humanoid skeleton hand. Designed to overlay over the wearer's own hand, the handflower clasps around the wrist, branching out to cover each knuckle and extend down to the tip of each finger, displaying a silver version of the bones below. Each bone length is held in place by a ring segment... something something

a deeply hooded tattooed leather cloak lined in iridescent serpent skin
Pin worn scented item - eye.. An alabaster slit-pupiled eye
A sanguine slit-pupiled despanal eye haloed in rune-scribed silver - brimstone?
An alabaster slit-pupiled eye - The eye is haloed in polished silver, the metal has been scribed with a multitude of glyphs and sigils. Crafted from pale white alabaster, the gem is threaded with irregular sanguine-hued despanal. The spherical alabaster has been carved to resemble a slit-pupiled eye, the pupil centered over a particular vein of despanal lending stark contrast. A single despanal point marrs the corner of the eye, resembling nothing so much as a single bloody teardrop. - scent - causing it to release the sharp, coppery tang of fresh blood.
Scented Items:
a pair of half-eaten tart earrings fashioned from lumpy jelly opals – scent of sugar and fruit?
a bloodstained iron manacle trailing a broken chain - the rank scent of blood and sweat

A silver-set shadowglass collar - Crafted from broken shards of shadowglass, shades of grey billow across the smooth surface of each shard, smudges of ebon visible along the fractured edges. Each shard is linked together upon a short length of tarnished silver which culminates into a single larger section that serves as the lock-enclosed clasp.

A featureless coraesine mask – Hammered into a single smooth plane of coraesine, the mask is without ornamentation or features. The natural misty white hue of the metal is swirled across the surface with veins of dark grey. Viewed from the correct angle, the grey swirls in mask resolve into the vague impression of a face, either laughing or crying depending on the perspective.
a sextet of coraesine wings - Coraesine has been worked and forged, through some unknown/occult means, and fashioned into a set of six wings. The grey-shot white metal extends out from a central point into six distinct wings, each with finely articulated feathers. The coraesine feathers are a pure white with darker grey shafts affixing them to the rest of the wing.

a pair of purple black thunderhead opal cufflinks - Caged and backed in sterling silver are nestled two thumb-sized purple black thunderhead opals. The velvety ebon surface of the gemstone orbs are veiled with clouds of intense, bruised purple. Like the laden thunderheads of a gathering storm, no other colors permeate the swirling bands of darkness that mingle beneath the gems' surface.
some silver-caged shadowglass cufflinks - Caged and backed in oxidized silver, each cufflink grasp a single fragment of shadowglass. The shadowglass has a smoky color remniscent of fog at dusk or dawn. The still sharp edges of the shadowglass fragment are limned with ebon, almost as though the gemstone was bleeding darkness.

Music Stand Design:
a four-legged music stand, which he is holding in his right hand. Crafted from thin, lightweight metal, the contraption appears to have once been a normal music stand. The formerly flat face, once built for holding sheet music, has been warped and bent to resemble a canine head. The stand has been twisted and shaped to resemble a body with a tail. Set within the body, held by wiring, are broken pieces of various instruments, a mockery of organs. Loosely covering the body and tail of the stand are tattered remains of sheet music, creating the odd semblance of fur.

a crude black ora katana
a crude black ora katana - Crudely forged black ora, the blade lacks the usual elegant lines of the traditional erithian weapon, appearing as though crafted in mocking imitation. The blade is thicker and barely curved, thickening just above the tsuba and scribed with almost illegible calligraphy. The tsuba, larger to match the blade, is crafted from matching black ora, etched with the outline of an aishan, it's eyes fitted with tiny soulstones. - Read: Honor Scorned
Vatanura – provide golvern

The vatanura winds securely around two scabbards that are designed to rest off the left hip.

Adding New Ideas and works in progress as they come to mind below:
general idea that came to mind on the drive home yesterday. Not completed, but a broad idea. glaes-faced (something) helmet with a show about the face guard being fashioned from glaes. Additional thoughts included stained glaes or patterned and detailed, to give the impression of the person wearing the helm having facial tattoos.. Like flaming images across the glaes to fit an overall flame motif for the rest of the helm, or something like that.
a long tunic-style dress with a show about the dress being similar to a tunic, as it is composed of a long panel along the front and the back and lacking in sides, with assorted belts and straps holding the sides in place for some small degree of decorum.
a gown made entirely from lengths of silver chain.. at least the skirty bits.
Really vague atm, just had the idea, but a runestaff crafted from crystal. Like. Maybe a (wood it's made from)-sheathed staff with a show about the core being formed from a crystalline growth, maybe erupting out of the wood or bound in strips of wood..
I also keep wanting to make something organic looking that isn't organic. Like a molded vultite breastplate with a show about the oddly curved and shaped metal armor with a seemingly wet sheen to it, the irregular hues threading the piece adding together to give the whole an organic look to it.. Maybe something chitinus or made from selshis.
a twining lace armband(could use some work) - with a show about a simple silver armband trailing loosely twining lace that extends from said armband to a matching silver bracelet, creating a sort of sleeve.. random anime stuff. I dunno, something to work on.
I keep thinking of trying to design something reminiscent of the daedric gear in skyrim/oblivion and specifically include a bit about a barbed grip and maybe name that infernal covenant..
