a diamond-studded ribbon of metallic silver silk
Its gelid tears shimmering in the afforded light, a diamond-studded ribbon of metallic silver silk lies here, abandoned by its owner.
Shimmering with unremitting resplendence at any angle, the dust of pulverised white diamonds mingles with each visible thread comprising this ribbon of metallic silver silk. Every square inch of this stately ribbon bears a cluster of three diminutive, trillion-cut white diamonds devoid of inclusions, the gemstones' facets converting refracted light into waltzes of variegated luminosity. Grander than its compatriots, one trillion-cut white diamond has claimed its throne at either end of the ribbon's anterior, a princely sum of twelve carats divided equally between these two imperious gemstones. Measuring three feet in length and just under two inches in width, this ribbon is highly versatile. Crafted with great deliberation, the ribbon has been hemmed with a fell seam technique, thus reducing the likelihood that its edges will fray while increasing its aesthetic appeal. Tactfully embroidered into the rear centre of the ribbon is a barely noticeable rose bloom bearing a trillion-cut white diamond in its centre, a hallmark of the designer.

Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh."
Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."
I designed that ribbon while Lord Phaestus was the Crafting Commissioner. He allowed us a LOT more creative liberty. Now, however, with Amarisse and the Celani that plays her, we are forbidden from using personification such as calling the ribbon's diamonds "gelid tears." It's quite sad how limited we are now.
I will not draw them in the order that they are requested... rather in the order that I get inspiration/artist block.
an exquisite quiver of swirling golden vines
Roughly cylindrical in shape, this voluminous quiver has been fashioned by an adept hand from the hide of a wild boar. Tanned and dried, the surface has been further polished to a remarkably soft and smooth texture. Tooled onto the surface is a single intricate design that the crafter appears to have spent an elaborate amount of time upon: swirling vines branch off in delicate curls of jade maple leaves, surrounding a sapphire-studded silver crown as well as a blooming black lotus flower. Closer observation yields the outline of a locust hidden amidst the leaves, staring down almost menacingly at the two other symbols located beneath it. This entire design has been outlined with gold filigree so that it stands out pleasingly against the canvas. Lastly, an adjustable strap outfitted with a golden buckle allows the quiver to be slung over the shoulder and across the chest.

In regards to customising wings, I think the actual duanathar message is going to be expensive to change. Reactions for standard things like (un)wield, wear or remove should only be 25 credits though.
A few other things I have asked about in the past:
Having different descriptions for an item depending on whether or not it's worn:
"We can change the description of an item when it is worn; the cost to toggle back and forth between two descriptions would start at 250 credits (this includes the initial cost of making it reset and customising the description), though it may be more depending what exactly you want done."
Customised portals and description from the wand of portals:
"For a customised wand of portals you are looking at 1300 credits, which includes customised messages for the portal starting/completing and a customised portal description. The high cost associated with this is due to the necessary involvement of the coding team."

Looked back through logs from ages ago to dig up a design I was shown from a fellow housemate (on an old account) that was meant as a hilarious prank gift. Needless to say, it was indignantly declined, which was the expected response even though we got a good cackle out of it.
I was torn between being transfixed in horrified awe and laughing hysterically, and still am every time I see this.
APPEARANCE - A horrific, pink plush unicorn hat
DROPPED - Lying here in all its horrific glory is a monstrosity of a pink plush unicorn hat.
EXAMINED - Obsessively crafted from scraps of felt with the main body dyed a shocking shade of bright pink, this plush unicorn hat is almost enough to make even the most stalwart warrior blanch with horror. Clumsily patched onto the front of the hat is a wide, lopsided mouth with a strip of bright crimson cloth tacked underneath as a tongue, lolling out to the side and onto the wearer's forehead, while just a little too far upwards from this, two eyes - if they can even be called that - have been hacked out of layered white and black felt and then roughly sewn on, the pupils staring off balefully into opposite directions to give a slightly maniacal look. Stitched on crudely to the top of this hat flanked by two miserably wilting ears and running along the back seam is a psychedelic mane, constructed from vivid strips of cloth from every colour imaginable to create a vibrant yet nauseating effect, with the entire ensemble seeming to maintain the high possibility of triggering an epileptic fit if perused for too long. Proudly sticking out from the forehead of this unicorn plush hat is a sparkly horn, carved from what appears to be lightweight wood and dusted with a liberal coating of diamond dust, also somehow miraculously appearing to be perhaps the only stable and decently-formed feature. Finishing off this monstrosity of headware with flair and style is a small pink bow tucked incongruously behind one floppy ear, a sparkly cheap rhinestone glittering flirtatiously from the centre out at the surroundings to complement the rest of the horrific attributes this hat possesses. Rather lumpy in shape and definitely uneven in texture, this plush unicorn hat sits precariously on top of the wearer's head, held in place by nothing more than sheer luck and a somewhat unreal defiance of gravity.
One of her pretty house-related designs that I admire, in case she sees this post and throttles me later for putting up her horrifically awesome unicorn hat.
An exquisitely carved lotus hairpin
Gleaming softly, an exquisitely carved hairpin has been abandoned here.
Meticulously carved from dark cherrywood and burnished to a soft gleam, this exquisite hairpin spans about five inches in length, tapering to an elegant point tipped with golden filigree. Running across the entirety of the sleek surface are deftly etched lines and curves that intersect to form the almost imperceptible outline of a dragon at rest, tail curled around its magnificent scaled torso as its eyes glimmer knowingly with primordial wisdom. Between its razor-sharp talons and resting at the head of the hairpin is affixed a delicate lotus blossom, sculpted from what appears to be ebon-hued glass. Painstakingly sanded and then polished to a subtle glow, each dark petal has been tipped with a light coating of gold dust before being assembled into a breathtaking coalescence of elusive shadows and light that draws the eye to the very heart of the blossom, where a tiny amethyst is nestled, its colours variegating from intense violet to smoky lavender within its fragile glass cradle. As the available light spills across the flawless gem, the dusky hue flares to life, marking a striking contrast against the surrounding semi-translucent glass and casting it into shadows scattered with tiny flecks of sparkling midnight.And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.
I've been thinking about doing just that for a awesome and stinky wombat artefact pet. I'd probably need to come up with the ideas for responses and whatnot but come on! Wombats are great! They poop squares!
One of the main pieces started out very simply - Aerek and Mel emulated the ritual Aurora and Deucalion had during their bloodswearing, and I created a blood-stained ribbon for them both to wear (my forum picture includes it!). Over time I had it re-created into an artefact after a certain event where the ribbon was lost but surprisingly returned to Mel by Gaia, and thanks to @Taraus' spiffy skills, it became thus:
a blood-stained armband of tattered silk
Woven from countless strands of orbweaver silk and just over a yard in length, this once-pristine devotional ribbon now serves as a symbolic armband, tied tightly around the bicep of the wearer. Only faintly resembling its original gleaming white hue, the tattered material now hosts almost gruesome rust-coloured staining, the result of exposure to bloodshed. Just visible through the sanguine discolouration are tiny glimmers of an ornate gold embroidery, giving the piece an occasional sparkle, the barest reminder of its former elegance. The ends are ripped and frayed, the delicate threads of the weave threatening to come entirely unraveled, saved only by the double-knot that fastens the item in place.
That love soon might end You are unbreaking
And be known in its aching Though quaking
Shown in this shaking Though crazy
Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
Tart's theme is 'stuff that makes noise':
a clinking collar of jewels
a glittery silver bracelet with zany charms
a filigree bell earring
a belly chain of silver bells
jingling bells in her hair
a filigree bell earring
a black leather jacket adorned with chains
dark leather ankle boots adorned with silver bells
I'll share an armband design I made for Skuld since I spent a lot of time on it and people seemed to like it.
A spiralling white gold armband
Shaped to lie flat and wind ribbon-like about the wearer's upper arm, this armband is formed from a long, narrow strip of white gold. A delicate inscription runs nearly the length of the piece, punctuated at both ends where the band tapers to the thinness of wire and curls into a tight spiral. Small ivory opals sit at the centre of each coil, the colours that play across them as pale and brilliant as the shining metal in which the stones are set. On the inside of the armband is the tiny, engraved image of a bow-and-arrow.
Engraved on it are the words:
My fires are water; in crystal they shine. By heat they are quenched, in water they drown.
