Out on the beach again in the hopes to outlast the potential afternoon rain in the forecast, there were several tables once more set up with various different materials, this time mostly different colored spools of hempen thread and a multitude of different beads and trinkets awaiting to be plucked out and treasured and put to good use! Sidon, of course, grinned around at the gathered crafters and began.

"Welcome back, everyone!" he said. "I hope you're all ready to make something beautiful, because today, we're working with jewelry! But summery! Now, I'm sure you could all imagine, we Zora are quite fond of jewelry, but pieces like those you see on my person today can sometimes take years to create! Not so with wish bracelets! They are not only incredibly customizable and rather fetching, but they are quick and easy to make, so odds are you'll get the chance to make one not only for yourself, but perhaps for your friends and family as well! Here. I shall show you!"

And, just like that, they were diving right in!

Sidon will admit that having sharp little claws like his makes threading projects, especially on smaller things, much easier, but he still hopes his instructions are clear and precise and helpful! And, if not, he still has confidence that you can figure it out!

As usual, there's plenty of different colored hempen thread (and a few other materials if you so desire), as well as a plethora of moddable beads and trinkets, everything from your simple colorful glass ones to various shapes and even some little seashells, too (of course!)!

What Graham was making was a bit bigger than a typical bracelet. Well, he did make one regular bracelet for himself, but he really wanted to focus on making a bracelet for Triumph! His and Triumph's would match, of course. He thought of using green beads for it, but then worried that Triumph might mistake those for his favorite lime jelly beans, and thought better of it.

And then he got to thinking that maybe, if he was quick enough, he could make bracelets for everyone in his DnD group! Maybe match them to their characters! That would be pretty neat, right? He'd have to work fast, though, if he wanted to pull that off, or at least ask Sidon if he could take some of the material with him. He didn't think he would have an issue with it, though; he seemed like he would encourage that kind of extra-curricular initiative! So, feeling inspired and ambitious, Graham honed in on his work.

Oh, Libby had made bracelets like this with her siblings all the time, although she had to admit, the beads they used were no where near as nice as these ones! Half the time, they were just recycled from other beaded projects that had fallen apart with time and love.

So she decided to challenge herself by making a potentially very complicated one, going a little quiet and pink-cheeked as she tried to think of who she could make it for. Herself, probably, or maybe...

Actually, if she didn't spend too much time on it, maybe she could actually just make one for everyone in the DnD group. She could even match them to their characters! It sounded like a fun and interesting idea that surely no one else would think of, and if she made ones for the whole group, she wouldn't have to worry about it seeming like she was singling anyone out for any particular reasons...

Inspired by thinking of how cute some of these bracelets would look on her cat friends and her plushies, Sakaki was determined to make a really good bracelet that any cat or plushie would be proud to wear.

Considering she had her fingers tangled up in the cords almost right out of the gate was probably not the best sign.

And, by the end of the class period, she'd definitely have....something that was...maybe bracelet adjacent? Or perhaps just a general web of a mess of beads and braids...

An attempt was made, okay?

Liz did wonder if it was too early to be making jewellery for her daughter but maybe she could make her a bracelet and it would be something that she could wear when she was older.

So her bracelet was a mix of pinks and reds and she did put in a couple of sea shells in as well.

Dwight really wasn't sure what he was going to do with the bracelet he made. But... he was feeling a small twinge of something resembling inspiration start to tickle the back of his mind as he worked. He might be able to get something going with some nice fancy wooden and metal beads and make a few things for a kid-friendly section of the Etsy shop.... something to go along with a few random hand-carved figurines an what not. Was something he was going to file away and think about some more after he finished.

Gray's problem was deciding who to make a bracelet for. Maybe Libby? Or Graham? Oh! Or Triumph, although Triumph would need a pretty big bracelet. And he should make them for all of his brothers, and...

...and then the comedown hit and he sat with slumped shoulders, staring at a hank of orange thread, as he realized Sloth would never let him do all of that. He'd be lucky if he managed to finish one bracelet before he crashed again.

Well, he decided. He'd better get to work if he was gonna get that bracelet made. He could just decide who to give it to later.

Vi found a bunch of beads that if you tilted your head and closed one eye kind of looked like dice, and after briefly considering making bracelets for everyone in Graham's game (to match their real dice) decided to just start off making one for Steph that she could give her after she was person shaped again.

Sidon may be faintly distracted, because he swears he's still hearing that music from the coffee shop yesterday on occasion, but he's trying not to be too concerned about.

Gonna try to remember to channel up some supportive "I BELIEVE IN YOU" Sidon to get me through today XD
