Description
The "Extra Wallet" from Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I will be selling these at Anime Expo in Los Angeles at the end of this month. I did up this quick prototype for the Symphony of the Goddesses concert tonight. I can already tell I am going to have to lower the holes for the lace by at least 1/2".The picture on the left is taken with the flash and the one on the right is without the flash. I include both because neither fully represent the colors, but both in combination give you a bit of a better idea.
Note: These will NOT include the Rupees. Those are just for display.

Question- Where can you find the plastic rupees?Β

They were glass beads from Joann Fabrics, but unfortunately have been long since discontinued. There are a great many people who offer them on etsy, though

Ahhh- I see- That sucks that they discontinued the brand of fabrics-Β

It wasn't the fabric that's discontinued, that's just standard linen. It's the glass rupees they discontinued

Awwwwww- *sob sob* I guess you could always make them if you had the right tools-Β

True! I have a friend with whom I'm teaming up to make some rupees to go with my rupee pouches

Ah- wonderful! I wish I had the correct tools for making them- I guess you could make them if you worked for making glass figurines and such-Β

That's very true! And glass ones would feel so much more real, too!

Exactly! Haha! Man, I really WISH I knew how to make glass, and have the compression tools-- and the coloration tools for them- Darn!Β

Somewhere, someone will. It's just a matter of finding them and getting them to teach either of us!

True that! Hopefully, the Nintendo Company will decide to make 'em! That'd be pretty awesome- But I wouldn't need a pouch. I sew, so I could make my own--Β

If Nintendo would make some that would be fantastic. There is so much out there from their games that they could produce and fans would just eat it up! That's awesome, what kind of things do you sew?

I sew Cosplay outfits ( I'm currently working on Midna's Princess Attire-- ), I sew Pouches, I hem buttons back onto Shirts... And other things, I sometimes just get bored and sew up on shirts with other old shirts and make it look like Frankenstein Shirts! It's pretty fun- actually--Β

That's awesome! I poked around your gallery, I didn't see anything in there that you've sewn. Do you have any pics of your work posted online?
π: 0 β©: 1
Actually, No, I have not- Sadly, I do not have a camera/phone that I can send the pictures to DA with- Oh, I would if I could though! And when I DO, I WILL post some- And some of my real artwork, I know some of my art on here's not the BEST, but in real life, it looks MUCH better, maybe because I use my hands instead of a mouse?Β

It's all good, I'll put you on my dev watch so when you do I will get to see what you've made!
Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm no good working with a mouse. Things always come out much better without that digital connection between the artist and the medium.

Exactly! ^-^Β
Wow, you are an interesting person! I enjoy many future conversations with you good sir! 
π: 0 β©: 1
Hahah, thanks! You are quite the interesting person yourself! I too look forward to further conversations with you!

Ah, yes yes!Β
Oh, and one more thing. If you EVER get bored, and want to talk, I am almost always online- I do Role-plays, i will have conversations, AND I do gifts/requests/commissions.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Awesome, thanks! Any time you see me online feel free to drop me a line. I also do gifts, commissions, and the occasional art trade if you're interested

Hm, somehow I thought DA had a chat window thing. I guess they don't? I've never been the best at technology.
Β You can find me on Facebook, I should be the only Crewes Kime out there
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, yes, we do have chatrooms. You just have to set 'em up.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
How's it work? I can't seem to find a place for dialogue boxes or chatrooms or whathaveyou
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm not QUITE sure, but if you have a specific thing, you can get on one.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
hm, I may have to look into it sometime! At least now I know it exists! thanks!

Do you know if it is one of the premium membership things?
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh no! You don't have to have one, not at all!
π: 0 β©: 1
Huh, then I just can't seem to find it! I must be blind or something.

You know the DA tab in the upper left corner of your screen? The DA logo? There is a downward pointing arrow next to it. Scroll over, and you will get a LONG list of things. One is 'Help'. Click that. From there, you can find the answers to your questions.Β

The design was stenciled and painted in. Eventually I plan to do a Medium Wallet from Skyward Sword, and that one will be embroidered in

Do you remember the brand name of the rupees by any chance? O.o
I've been looking for rupees for awhile.
π: 0 β©: 1
The brand name is Blue Moon, and the line was Boutique Select--they went clearance at JoAnn Fabrics a couple years ago, but I haven't dug into it. Maybe somewhere still has them, but I'm not sure. Eventually I want to make some molds and cast some up in this scale.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah I heard that they were discontinued.
π: 0 β©: 0
after the convention, yes. I can't leave out the folks not in the LA area who can't make it
π: 0 β©: 0
awesome job! where did you get the rupee gems?
π: 0 β©: 1
They were on clearance at JoAnns like a year ago. When I saw them I went to every JoAnns within this county (and then some I think) and picked up all that were left.
