Thread: Really GOOD alters

    A sand elemental holder.

    To quote the comedian Emo Phillips, "I used to think the brain was the most fascinating part of the body. Then I thought, "Look what's telling me that."

    The boots are not laced, though rather clasped shut with straps of galvorn. They look like they would fare well in bad weather conditions.
    Sell me these boots.

    This comment makes me scratch my head; how can black be "very dark"?


    a somber black glaes war mask with jagged steel teeth

    That's my favorite alter right now.

    Or these: some black invar-toed boots

    These boots are capped on the toe with a protective invar shell. The sole of the heel is also made of solid black invar with flecks of radiating red. On the tongue you see a symbol of V'Tull stitched in red.

    There appears to be something written on it.
    In the Erithian language, it reads:
    May the Waters of the Sea sustain and surround you.
    This is by far the prettiest piece of jewelry I've seen in a long time...

    Colors have multiple shades of hues, hence the "very dark" black as opposed to a lighter shade...

    This is one of my favorite so far:

    a triple-strand twisted vaalin geldaralad

    Three slender lengths of vaalin chain have been interwoven to form this elegant piece of elven jewelry. From it is suspended a perfect rose-cut deep blue sapphire, incised with a star-shaped heart of vaalin. Tiny leaves of pale jade are interspersed between the strands complementing the delicate blossom.
    Jolena's hooha would be breezy.

    I adore it. Thandiwe took my primitive design and made it into something incredible. I'm planning to move it from a normal necklace into an amulet holder so it can see even more use.

    A lighter shade of black would be gray...

    The only alter I own.

    a stained black velvet cloak

    Several greasy stains mar the fabric of the cloak near an embroidered crossed mallet and peg on the left breast, and its hem is slightly tattered. The cloak's interior sports several pockets, most of which are hidden among its voluminous folds, as well as a series of dark leather loops that lines the cloak's waist, resembling a large tool belt. No light passes through the thick material, including the hood, making it impossible to determine its contents by sight alone.

    My favorite:
    *a waist-length beige wool coat
    Formed from thick beige wool, the style of this coat features a high collar and waist-length bottom hem. Austere, and yet tailored to taper inwards at the waist to better suit a female form, the coat fastens down the right side with a line of smooth glimaerstone cabochon buttons. Lining the inside of the coat is layered silk dyed a dark brown.
    (Thanks to Nikki for helping me put that into words)

    * a thin linen raspberry tote tied with a cream silk ribbon

    *a high-collared cream damask gown with an off-white gauze overlay and long belled sleeves
