Golden rainbow lucky number moon trees (Plus a moon-tree crafting tutorial)

So I finally did it; I finished my first (and probably only ever) solid 18k gold moon tree pendant!



I hope that the gold market falls drastically (and soon) because a) it will mean that our economy is doing well, and b) I will get to play with more yummy buttery 18k gold wire!

The Tudor Project - The 1 Year Anniversary Edition

I've only recently realized I had forgotten about the anniversary of my Tudor Project!
It was on February 6th, so I'm only 5 months late, no biggie. *facepalm into oblivion*

As a sort of celebration, I made a revision of the mega-post that signaled the original event over a year ago. Only this time you get to see new characters and new versions of the old ones thrown in the mix.

Word of caution: it's a BIG post.
