| This has been described by many as the steel artichoke. I had no clue what an artichoke even looked like until I was told this, followed by googling it. In either case... this came shortly after I had created the shirt, and wanted to play around with (still remaining galvanized steel) scales some more. | |
| I had decided to experiment with expanding and contracting scales... which is somewhat difficult, as the rings have to run the 'wrong' way as compared to a shirt. To add to the difficulty, I also wanted to make no gaps on the inside of the dicebag large enough for a dime to fit through. The reasoning for this is such that if, say for a costume or something, I actually wanted to keep my change in it and use it as a money sack thing. As well, I have an actual "D-2" dice (near the pullstring... and I also have several other custom dice... such as the D-3, D-5, and D-7). Hence, some creative ring-work between the larger gaps caused by the expansions/contractions, and the very center-bottom was needed. | |
| In the end... it turned out, and anyone who knows me also knows of the infamous galvanized steel artichoke. And as you can see... it's actually capable of holding a fair amount of dice, or whatever you want. Somewhere around 35 or so dice... depending obviously on the size of dice you have. If it's all D-6's, odds are you can get about 40 in there. I have an assortment of mainly D-10's, pretty much several of everything else, and a D-30 that takes up a fair amount of room. | |
