Hey, if bored means we get cool work like these, please, remove all potential stimuli from your environment! ;)

Excellent work, HK...all four are quite beautiful. The one thing I would suggest (I'm a stickler for old-fashioned fonts) is that you use an elegant typographer's single quote instead of that nasty vertical apostrophe in "Hell's" and elsewhere. On a PC, hold down ALT while you type 0146 on the numeric keyboard. On a mac, I think it's Ctrl-Option- [ (check the keycaps in the apple menu).

Hey, cool! Thanks, "Anonymous," that's a good idea. All those alt-# thingies are a mystery to me, but now I have a nice apostraphe! So, uh, you want I should re-do these with that?

Up to you, but if you do, I'll download it as a desktop (my favorites are the two horizontal versions).

P.S. The only Alt combinations that I actually know by heart are Alt-0145 and Alt-0146 (single quotes), Alt-0147 and Alt-0148 (double quotes), and Alt-0150 and Alt-0151 (en and em dashes).

Remove all stimuli from your environment *Lol*

Y'know what else is cool, besides the great image? It looks as though everyone is shown at their proper height. If they weren't, it would look off. Especially Adam. He's gigantic.

Take My Love... - Wall Hanging in Brass and Copper
Another wall hanging thingie. All hand done, as usual, with the same copper and brass materials I've come to like lots. This is just over 2" wide x 4" tall. Another gift to another friend. Purposely left off the last stanza of the song, as I don't believe it's applicable. (Another view: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5087/5338364896_da2e0b19cf.jpg) Just thought I'd share.

Serenity Plaque - Copper, Brass, Wood
Hand cut, hammered, and torched SERENITY logo in brass and copper, mounted on a wooden base (5" diameter). Wedding present. Currently hanging in their home. (Another view: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sara013/5364792788/)...been contemplating taking more commissions....

"Burn the Land..." Pendant in Copper and Brass
Erm... since no one seemed to hate the last pendant I made, I thought I'd throw this one up on the board, too. Made this a few weeks back. As with the other one, it's made from copper and brass. All worked, cut, stamped, and aged by hand using archaic tools and fire. Mmmm, fire. Hope the photo isn't too dark... unfortunately, you can't see the colouring of the oxide on the metals (torching metals to varying degrees creates oxide layers of different colours, from bright red to black and everywhere in between). Here's a link to my flickr site for another view: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sara013/4135367710/in/set-72157603264793260

Serenity in copper and brass
I got bored this past weekend and decided to make one of these myself.... Copper and brass cut from sheet stock, then shaped and hammered by hand. The Chinese was hand cut using a jeweler's saw. Each piece was coloured and "aged" using a micro-torch before hammering everything together with small pieces of brass. The penny is there for sense of scale. Right now, it's acting as a pendant and telling me it wants to live with someone else. Just thought I'd share. (( Link to flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sara013/4162236256/ ))

Kaylee costume
I normally try to avoid posting pictures of myself, but since others have been posting their costume pictures, I figured, what the hell. Ya know? Anyways. This is one of the Kaylee costumes from the movie. I finally broke down and bought it from the Prop Store.... I think I'm going to wear it to Dragon*Con. Actually, I think I'm going to wear it every single day. I absolutely love it.

Odd connection between Serenity and Transmetropolitan
I was reading TRANSMETROPOLITAN (W. Ellis) again for the umpteenth time, and this quote just struck me as something that could fit, philosophically, with FIREFLY. And maybe I'm just insane. (According to TRANSMET, it's a quote by H.L.Mencken from a 1919 magazine.)

Badger poster / wallpaper
I haven't seen enough of Badger, so I thought I may as well make a poster thing for him. How can you not love this guy (and his very fine hat)? Anyhow... just going with the same format as my other wallpapery bits: minimal artistic requirements. I didn't adjust this image for wallpaper, but can easily if anyone wants it.

Kaylee wallpaper / poster
Just another Kaylee wallpaper. No great artistic feat here. (Next in line to my previous Mal wallpaper.) Just always liked this picture and the way she simply, cheerfully told Book "You're gonna come with us" in 'Serenity'.
