These aren't forgotten, but our printer's currently out of commission. No idea when we'll have it up again, so these are on hold for a while.
Info
So, I was thinking about making myself a bracelet with my characters' pictograms, since it's something I've wanted for quite a while now. I thought some folks here might like the idea, too, and I may as well ask :3
I'd be using glass cabochons in antique bronze settings, with a bronzed/brass finish chain to match. I'd be doing bracelets and necklaces - might be able to work out earring settings, too, since the cabochons are only 12mm, if there are enough folks who prefer that.
A single-picto bracelet would be something like $5-7 USD, earrings even less, necklace a bit more (16-20 inch), plus shipping - and add something like $1 per additional picto if you want more than one.
Shipping looks like around $7 for the US (maybe less since I'm guessing on weights/sizes), and around $12 for out-of-country?
As for the pictos themselves, not sure how I'd do them, yet. I have glossy photo paper to print on, just have to iron out some kinks with the printer. But since they're just little pictures secured under the cabochon, I could add little personal things to each picto - feathers, flowers, whatever, drawn around the edges or intertwined with the glyphs. Lots of options, just don't expect them to be the most spectacular piece of art in existence - I'm human and this is the first time I'll be trying this ;.;
I can put things that aren't pictograms in, too, but the charms are going to be pretty small so you won't get to put like, a whole character reference in. But if you want say, an eye or some antlers or something, I think that'd be doable. I can draw some simple things for these, but if you want anything on the more complex side, it might be better if you have an image I can just put in.
TLDR;
Something like $5 to 10 USD per bracelet/necklace (unless you have an obscene number of pictos you want on it), plus shipping.
I have 20 pieces on the way. If I run out of pieces, I can always order more, so if they're all accounted for don't be shy about requesting.

I'd totally be interested!
Just got the okay from my
\o/ I found a smaller
I found a smaller quantity of the glass pieces, so I went ahead and ordered them. I don't thiiink I'll get more interest than what I ordered for, but it should be chain I run out of first and if all else fails more chain doesn't cost too much.
It'll probably take a week or two for things to get here, so I guess in the meantime I'll be throwing around design ideas. At least, once I find my tablet >.> Where did that doodlebopper go.
Same here ^_^ Edit: Not

Are each of the settings made
They all have two loops. If
Smaller rings would make the chain hide behind the pendant, so it might sit differently than in the doodle (the one on the right):
Hmm. I'll probably go for
Had a thought though...
maybe if you get a short cut of wire and some beads, you can dangle a bead or something off the extra end with the chain going through the other loop??
Oh, yeah, or some little

The chain shipped recently, so hopefully it'll turn up soon-ish~
Wow. Tracking this. It is
It is remarkable idea!
Bump~ All the pieces have
All the pieces have shipped, hopefully will be in by next week.
Update: The settings and cabochons are here~
Bottle pop top for scale, and a quickly scribbled picto in one of the settings as an example. Printer is out of ink at the moment, so I couldn't print off one of the above examples.
Just waiting on the chain, now.

Draymier - Okay, just let me know~
The chain is in today! Looks good! The links are wider than I thought, though, so I'll have to get some little connecting loops when I'm at Hobby Lobby for the lobster clasps. I'll try to go in tomorrow to take a look at what all they've got.
I also got some glossy photo paper. Having some issues with my printer at the moment, but aside from being kinda purple-y the test picto looks pretty good on it! You can see it in the picture linked above.
UPDATE
October 21, 2013
Got the lobster clasps and jump rings today, so I have all the pieces!
I also went poking around the charm and bead section, since there was a request for such things.
I only went to one place, and I know the other craftsy place in town has a lot of other options, so don't feel limited by what's in these pictures~
I stuck them all on my Twitter 'cause that's what's easy to reach from my phone. They're the numbered posts from 1 to 13.

Also, Draymier - I picked up some earring pieces today, too, since they were pretty cheap, so I can do those~ Might even make myself a couple, we'll see.
Oooh! Those tiny keys look so
Yeah, they're cute :3 Forgot
Forgot to add, I also have a few watch gears that I never managed to put to use. I'll try and put a picture of them up some time.
We've figured out it's the color ink in the printer giving us issues. I'll have to pick some new cartridges up this week, and then I should be good to print the little pictures out.
I don't know if your still
We actually just got a new
I definitely have plenty if materials.
