Description "Lay down thine hammer,
friend, lay down thine awl
Thy yesteryear trappings
are splintered and old.
Now rise up thine mace!
And sword thusly brandish!
The Builder fuels those who
unite against malice."
-The New Scripture of the Master Builder.

"I dreamt that the Builder
came unto me. We walked together
amid the empty buildings.
No tree barred our path,
no creatures scurried forth.
No foot fell there, save ours.
So pleased was He with all I
had done that he turned my
flesh to iron with a wave of
His mighty hand. I wept with joy,
tears as slick as mercury,
and thanked him for his gifts. "- Karras


Just some fun stuff I spent about an hour or so making and putting together. I might even try to make a tiny candle. We'll see.

here's another photo to help you see how small this really is: [link] The key is the size of a regular house key.

Was this actually part of the New Scripture or did you write this one yourself?  I don't recall finding this one

That's amazing. I'm grateful that you're keeping the Thief universe alive, and Physically no less!
Um. If you're thinking of making more like this for sale, maybe a thin one for money-bills or such, I would be proud to own one.

:] I plan to display it proudly for a long time and happily answer questions for where it's front. Sadly, the miniature table I used to display it in the gallery was not mine, but it was the perfect size.

You know what would be a challenging new project? The Book of the Stone. With covers actually made out of rough stone.

With a scroll inside that says:

"You shall not rob from the house I have built
Or commit any theft or unrighteousness
Lest ye be struck down and driven into the earth forthwith
and the land of the heathen consume you."

taff I still remember it correctly.

hmmmmmmmmmm. Making the stone front would bot be hard, but making it have a hinge might be.

PLUT0NIA In reply to bug-in-my-eye [2010-04-14 18:23:16 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm... and the hinge part would probably be a bit fragile.

bug-in-my-eye In reply to PLUT0NIA [2010-04-15 02:14:15 +0000 UTC]

possibly. I don't have much time left in the class this semester to really think about it. but it could be possible, I'm sure.

I always had the idea that you're a weirdo with a flat full of tools where you're welding and smithing stuff.

Even if I wasn't a Thief fan, I would still have to say that this is pretty awesome. From the book, to the scrolls and how it's laid out - even the lighting and overall photograph is amazing.

Fantastic work. <3
