Y'all folks are so kind with the previous - and
my first! - BTW post, thank you so much for your comments! If you enjoy my posts, you ought to
check out the Flickr page featuring beaders and jewelry makers from across the world, sharing what's on their bead table every week!
Last week, you loved the
Rockslide necklace, which will be available for sale in
my Etsy shop very soon with other new designs. This week is a very unique design concept and thrifted repurposed piece I picked up during a shopping spree at Value Village. (
Oh my, I will have to brag about that stuff in a later post. Incredible finds!) Nick has been playing quite a bit of
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, an XBOX video game with its setting in 16th century Rome/'present day' 2012, with an epic yet complicated story about an ancient brotherhood called the Assassins and their lineage as they try to protect mankind from the Templars and protect an ancient 'biblical' artifact with the potential of great power to whoever possesses it. It's a pretty damn cool game. Eighty-five percent of the game's characters and events are historically accurate accounts of the
House of Borgia's power and influence through 15th and 16th centuries in Italy. It's a pretty cool game, and he plays it
a lot. He's playing it
right now. (Not just as I type this, but probably as you're reading this a few days from now, too!)
You play as Ezio Auditore, a trained
Assassino like his father, hailing proudly from city of Firenze, Italy. The traditional Assassin costume is white and red, his traditional armour is patterned much like feathers of birds wings. Nick had been bugging me for a while to make something inspired from the game, and I just happened across the
coolest find at Value Village. This'll be perfect for an
Assassin's Creed-inspired piece.
