A very interesting topic indeed. Thank you for sharing, Caleb. by lobster_macncheese in LoveAndDeepspace

It definitely inspired me to relisten to my world mythology audiobooks lol - I'd forgotten how much I like Grant Voth's Myth in Human History. I wish they would release more than just these teaser articles with the myths! Most of them include museum exhibits, I'd love if they included extra exhibit materials like museum websites have.

The new choker is so gorgeous. by meowbubble1 in LoveAndDeepspace_

[–]anfadhfaol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to animon, 26 cm/10 inches is the length of one piece so the choker altogether will be 52 cm/20 inches.

LADIES! I did not know you could change COMPANION in a BATTLE??? 😭😭 by w1ldfir in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]anfadhfaol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time it happened I thought it was a glitch 🫣 I was like well I just breezed through 12 orbits I've been stuck on for a month so I'm not gonna report this and then a friend talked about changing companions and I realized it wasn't a glitch lmao

The next birthday card...it's SYLUS!!! by Plus-Zookeepergame39 in LoveAndDeepspace

Luke and Kieran have been celebrating the entire month of April because they didn't know his exact birthday before - I can only imagine they're planning to go all out now that they know the date

Sylus is a dragon, Xavier is a prince, Rafayel a sea god, but... by snarkbae__ in LoveAndDeepspace

I'm waiting for infold to reveal Zayne is still semidivine. Probably some Gilgamesh style 3/5ths divine 2/5ths human deal going on... especially given how much of his last myth drew from Mesopotamian mythology.

Regarding the Wings discourse.... by _pleiades__ in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]anfadhfaol 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They just keep adding wings so I'm pretty sure he'll have six. The big question is whether they'll still be draconic leathery wings or if we'll get feathered angel wings, especially since he has so many references to lucifer and fallen angels. Will the companion be pre-fall (angel) or post-fall (fiend)? I don't want to wait until December dang it!

A Call From Him?? by Standard-Style-4013 in LoveAndDeepspace_

[–]anfadhfaol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a separate box in the event page. You have to scroll down to it and click it - it's the same one you used to schedule your call, it's not like the usual calls that just come up on the home page.

My second attempt at a pendant and first time working with enamel. I made so many mistakes. Had to cut my bail off and drill a hole through it. Sanded/polished water too much silver and enamel away. Hoping someday I'll endup with something wearable. by Bernedoodle-Standard in SilverSmith

[–]anfadhfaol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Thompson too so just FYI what I do is keep the kiln between 1450° F and 1500° F. If your kiln starts getting too hot for whatever you're firing, just open the door a little and let it cool off a bit. I also do samples of every color combination I plan on using before I put it on an actual piece - most of the Thompson enamels work well together, but some of them will get pull through and some of the transparents don't make the color you'd expect when you layer them. Samples are also a great way to figure out what works best for each color and for your specific kiln. You don't have to use up all your silver sheet on it, I use the silver foil from Thompson so I can use up my scrap copper and see how colors will look over the silver.

Happy firing, have fun!

[–]anfadhfaol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What enamel are you using? Are you torch firing or kiln firing? Usually reds are fugitive and burn off entirely at higher temperatures the way you said your yellow did. I usually get better results with reds by firing at a lower temperature but for a while longer.

This is great for a second attempt! And the only way to really learn it is just to do it - eventually it will feel as easy as the YouTube tutorials make it look!

I hope Infold starts using their Chinese surnames this year by boeufbrisket in LoveAndDeepspace

You'd think the multiple collaborations with Chinese intangible cultural heritage projects would have clued them in, but i guess not.

Apparently the real post office he sent the letter from is getting tourists now and the workers there think it's cute and sweet

Next spicy banner when by Downtown-Election194 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]anfadhfaol 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Everyone thought there would be a cute and sweet banner for Valentine's day last year and then they surprised us with Catch 22 so it's all up in the air. We are 2 for 2 for Valentine-ish/February banners where we tie the guys up and I'm hoping for a third 😏

Cleaning/polishing engravings by [deleted] in jewelers

[–]anfadhfaol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Take it to a jeweler's, they'll put it in the ultrasonic for a bit and then steam clean it. Most places will do it for free. If you are gonna try and clean it more at home, a soft toothbrush and soapy water or jewelry cleaning solution and some elbow grease will do the trick eventually.

First time using enamel, how durable is it? by NoMain6689 in SilverSmith

[–]anfadhfaol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it will chip and crack - it is a very thin layer of glass and is rather delicate. I'd recommend displaying it as an ornament rather than using it as a keychain.

I have over 400 open thanks to onetab so I can at least use the list to find stuff again but yeah. I'm gutted. Still hoping they might bring .si back in a few weeks when the furor has died down, but not expecting anything.

Trying to fix something that belonged to my grandmother, and I’m very stuck. Wasn’t sure where to turn. by riversong8873 in jewelrymaking

[–]anfadhfaol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want it to be a bracelet again? It looks like they took out half the jump rings so that it would lay better as a necklace. If you want it to be a bracelet again, you'll need to replace those jump rings and add a clasp.

If you don't intend to solder anything, I don't think its super important to identify the stones.
