This weekend I went on a 2-day silver jewellery course.  I did one last year too - it's great fun, not as difficult as you'd expect, and you come away with cool trinkets!   Lovely to wear or to give as presents (boys, this is a good way to impress your female companions...). So what did I make...? A textured bangle and matching ring aaaaand...... (drumroll please) Well, what did you expect?!  I feel this is the essential accessory for all Zeuhl Prophets and Princesses.   (I didn't make the chain, by the way...) Here I am ROCKING THE ZEUHL GRIFFE, BABY! Talismantastic! (I made two other rings as well, which aren't quite finished yet.  Really, you can make loads in two days! ) Replies: Posted By: crimhead Date Posted: August 10 2008 at 13:52 Nice work there. Quite inspiring. How much did all of this cost you? Posted By: song_of_copper Date Posted: August 10 2008 at 14:08 Well... it's not a cheap hobby, that's for sure!   I can't see myself going on one of these courses more than once a year.  (Unlike some of the people who were there, who do evening classes as well as the summer weekend and one day courses... ) However, it is cheaper (and more personal/fun) than buying ready-made jewellery, and you do end up with some new skills! Thanks, glad you liked my handiwork! Posted By: VanderGraafKommandöh Date Posted: August 10 2008 at 16:14 I want one! Could you make me one and send me it in the post?  I like the fact it's on the smaller size too and not huge like the real ones were in the early 1970s.  I don't want to be mistaken for a hip-hop fan! But seriously, I do want one... I gather you can buy them but gosh... a personalised one would be so damned cool!  I could then make it the size. I want it, grrr! Those are just a little too big for my liking... ------------- Posted By: Pnoom! Date Posted: August 10 2008 at 16:33 That... is awesome.  Great work. Posted By: King of Loss Date Posted: August 10 2008 at 16:36 I got my gold Magma necklace in the mail and its the bestest  DA ZEUHL WORTZ MEKANIK! Posted By: KoS Date Posted: August 10 2008 at 16:46 Awesome.

Where did you purchase it from and how big is it? And take a photo of you wearing it too, so we can all see! Seventh Records website, when they were having the free shipping sale. I also got myself a Magma shirt and poster POosting it on here is kind of hard, since I'm too lazy to locate the camera. Posted By: YesFan72 Date Posted: August 10 2008 at 19:52 http://v2.seventhrecords.com/achat/produit_details.php?id=128 <-- I believe they currently have free shipping. ------------- Posted By: VanderGraafKommandöh Date Posted: August 10 2008 at 20:12 Ooooh lovely.  I think I'd like the silver one, rather than the gold. I should really save money... must resist temptation! 'cause I want a pin badge too... and they have one. Miss M.: did you happen to stencil that logo, 'cause the shape looks correct, or do you just have a good eye for detail? Also, I notice yours is slightly curved, that's cool.  I think the official Seventh Records ones are flat. ------------- Posted By: Mikerinos Date Posted: August 10 2008 at 21:39 Nice job, but I'd avoid Kobaian pubs for a while if I were you. :P ------------- Posted By: Padraic Date Posted: August 10 2008 at 22:25 Just awesome!   Posted By: rileydog22 Date Posted: August 11 2008 at 00:09 song_of_copper wrote: Nice, I was gonna order one off of Seventh but it was way too small. ------------- Posted By: VanderGraafKommandöh Date Posted: August 11 2008 at 00:40 I prefer them smaller... so I may order a Seventh Records one... it's hard to tell how small they are... that's why I was hoping Flossy would model it for us.  ------------- Posted By: song_of_copper Date Posted: August 11 2008 at 04:58 Thanks everyone for your kind compliments!

Well... there are instructions for drawing the shape somewhere on the 'Ork Alarm' site, but it's missing the explanatory diagram.  So I printed out some pictures of album covers and worked out that it's really a series of six nested circles (alternating between two different centre points).  When you've drawn those you get rid of the bit at the bottom where the circles overlap, and draw the 'pointy bit'.   (Can you tell I am useless at maths??) I made a cardboard template thusly and away I went! Yes, mine is slightly domed/convex.  Because... isn't it supposedly representative of some kind of armour plating that enfolds the body??  Something like that!  I think that may also be why the original ones were so flamboyantly enormous.   Jewellery on a more tastefully discreet scale won't stop those nasty earth people from injuring your precious internal organs with their horrid guns, now will it??!! Size wise, I thought the Seventh ones looked a bit small, so mine's a bit bigger than those (I think); but yes, a 1970s hubcap version would look a bit silly!! Mikerinos wrote: Nice job, but I'd avoid Kobaian pubs for a while if I were you. :P Why?? Wait a minute...  There are Kobaïan pubs?! Good lord. In that case there must be Kobaïan pub jokes.  You know, "Pitiful earthling walks into a Kobaïan bar..." It's too early for punchlines, but I'm sure someone can think of a few...

Because the ratio of male Magma fanboys to female Magma fanboys exceeds even James's time employed:time unemployed ratio which is extremely hard to do. A Kobaian walks into a bar and says *insert Kobaian word for ouch, Ouchntahk or something maybe* I wonder if Magma has been hip hop sampled yet, I'm guessing so. ------------- Posted By: MovingPictures07 Date Posted: August 11 2008 at 16:19 I see you took my advice.  That's pretty awesome. I'm still on my mission to get mine... someday. Somehow. I might just buy one from Seventh. Not sure. ------------- Posted By: Pnoom! Date Posted: August 11 2008 at 16:29 I wonder if Magma has been hip hop sampled yet, I'm guessing so. That has so much potential for awesome, but it'd be hard to find a Magma sample that doesn't overpower the rest of the song.

Diddly-Doddly does 'De Futura' - that would probably be hilarious. Someone with a ludicrously enormous ego might just be able to pull it off by being extra bombastic... Posted By: Pnoom! Date Posted: August 11 2008 at 16:59 If any rappers sampled Magma it would be underground ones that tend to have a far less conventional sound.

Posted By: VanderGraafKommandöh Date Posted: August 12 2008 at 06:52 But wouldn't a breastplate-sized Magma logo be a bit extreme for a well-endowed lady?  I'm still tempted to buy one from Seventh Records... I'm too lazy to make one myself. Melissa, is that silver-plated or completely silver? I guess the Seventh Records ones aren't silver-plated... hmm... I don't know any silversmiths. ------------- Posted By: song_of_copper Date Posted: August 12 2008 at 10:36 James wrote: But wouldn't a breastplate-sized Magma logo be a bit extreme for a well-endowed lady?  Haha, well, I'm not terribly well-endowed!   I guess for the larger bust it would take on Valkyrie-armour proportions!! I'm still tempted to buy one from Seventh Records... I'm too lazy to make one myself. It'd be pretty easy to make one out of that modelling clay stuff that you bake in the oven.  Or even a 'found object' - the bottom of a drinks can maybe?? Well, if you do buy one, you must submit a picture! Melissa, is that silver-plated or completely silver? It's solid silver. I guess the Seventh Records ones aren't silver-plated... hmm... I don't know any silversmiths. Posted By: crimhead Date Posted: August 12 2008 at 13:05 song_of_copper wrote: James wrote:   I guess the Seventh Records ones aren't silver-plated... hmm...

Although now that I think about it, goldsmiths were all competent with silver as well.  ------------- Posted By: TGM: Orb Date Posted: August 12 2008 at 15:34 I seriously mentally misplaced the spaces in the thread title.

Oh, dear...!   Well, there's no accounting for other people's imaginations, I guess... Posted By: Pnoom! Date Posted: August 12 2008 at 16:31 Is the title supposed be read some way other than "Zeuhl Art is Anal?"

No, Samantha, it's Zeuhl Artisanal (as in handmade stuff)!! Ah, I see, you're just trying to reassert your apparent non-positiveness... or something. Posted By: Pnoom! Date Posted: August 12 2008 at 16:50 I wasn't aware Artisanal was a word.  I figured Zeuhl Artisan but I couldn't figure out where the "al" went. Posted By: Pnoom!
