… the dark part are o-rings… they are single flares guys lol, go to the custom jewelry page and theres a bigger shot of it all.
Those are cool single flares though, i kinda wanna give it a shot myself. Ive made several pairs of double flares from mammoth ivory, and soapstone… so why not try acrylic haha!

I love this! I’ve made a lot of plugs and tunnels this way for myself too. It’s not hard at all: Just cut a length of material using a haksaw. Then sand it down using finer and finer gritt-paper. Heat the ends (i used a gass torch) to make flares and to create a smooth finish. I used drinking strawes (non-throw-aways) 6-8 mm. pens 9-11 mm, Children’s markers 8 – 14 mm, make-up packaging (HEMA) 16mm. Never had any problems with any of them. Just don’t wear them while healing and listen to your body carefully.

Huh? You could use higher grade sandpaper to smooth it. Sandpaper goes up to suuuuuuuper fine grits, some even feel just like paper to the touch, but when used, will leave it shiny, smooth and polished.
This is such na excellent idea. I need to figure out how to carve stone so I can make the weights I’ve been meaning to out of a big huge hunk of blood jade I have.

I started stretching over a decade ago and had to make all my tapers and jewellery from household objects, despite everyone crying over how you mustn’t stretch with acrylic (NB /stretching/ does not break the skin, therefore no ‘healing period’ is required, so stretching with acrylic, wood, and horn is all fine. If you /tear/ the skin, then you’d better stick to 316l steel, but you’re also stretching too fast and deserve your problems.)
#35 Body jewellery is not necesserally ‘safe’. It’s just made from materials deemed least likely to irritate the human body. I happen to be allergic to steel and titanium, so I’m probably better off sticking to carefully selected ‘household objects’.
#21 Acylic polishes to a glass finish using Brasso metal polish. No need to heat it at all.

One of the most powerful things about being at a convention like OSC is the sheer concentration of experience, creativity, and capability in one place.
