#runestone set

Blue ruuunes… ♪♫

Blue/green colour scheme for these ones. A friend said it reminded them of oceans, thus these are named the Blue Lagoon Runes.

Original plan was to just glue gems in place wherever, in the hopes that random throw-and-go would be faster, but… yeah, we can all see how long that plan lasted.

These are the Regal Runes. Considered calling them the Royal Runes, but with the colour scheme going on it may have seemed like I was naming them after Crown Royal whisky.

Lamé-type fabric is nowhere near as forgiving as velour/velvet/fuzzy stuff when it comes to gluing it to the foam padding, especially at the corners. It's thicker than the velvet I usually go for, and doesn't stretch as well either, so the corner folds were all blarg. I don't really want to use that fabric again, though I probably will anyway, because that metallic look is just so nice (and also I still have a lot of it, so at some point I do need to use it for something).

The lid closes magnetically. It's not a super strong magnet though. The box can be turned upside down with no problem, but forcefully shaking it without holding it shut is an invitation to sending tiny runes flying everywhere.

Box measures 8.25cm x 6.25cm x 6.5cm (~3.25" x 2.45" x 2.55"). Inside dimensions are 5.5cm x 3.25cm x 3.5cm (~2.15" x 1.28" x 1.38"). The glass rune stones are about 1.5cm wide.
