Gorgeous, translucent deep raspberry pink faceted Ruby rondelles gather at the front of the Neuilly bracelet. The precious gems are incredibly vibrant and look like delicious little berries sprinkled along an otherwise very streamlined piece.
Closure is at the back of the wrist. A cluster of faceted Vermeil cubes and a faceted translucent, natural pink Ruby briolette further adorn the clasp area.
Metal: 14K Gold Filled and Vermeil. The bracelet measures 7"- 8" but can be adjusted to meet your sizing requirements.

Translucent leaves, so delicate and thin,
Fluttering in the breeze, dancing in the wind.
Their veins like rivers, a pattern divine,
A sight to behold, so rare and fine.
The sunlight shines through, illuminating their grace,
A symphony of colors, a serene and peaceful place.
Their soft rustling sound, a melody so sweet,
A song of nature, for our hearts to meet.
The leaves, like stained glass, create a mosaic of light,
A kaleidoscope of beauty, a wonder in sight.
Their gentle sway, a dance of pure delight,
A moment of magic, forever in my sight.
Translucent leaves, a marvel of creation,
A work of art, a natural sensation.
Their fragile beauty, a lesson to learn,
To cherish the little things, and the moments that turn.
During a recent work excursion, I picked this Fate Extra/CCC Caster statue.
This Caster is better known the world as Tamamo no Mae, a mischievous shape shifting Kitsune (fox lady) who is historically famous for beguiling and affecting the policies of several different regimes. While the character is introduced in the Fate/Extra PSP game, I personally was introduced to her when playing Fate/Extra Umbral Star on the Vita, where is she is the main servant for her campaign, along with Nero Claudius, and Altera.
Another point of interest is that this statue is made by an entity known as Phat Company. Other than the knowledge that they are under the Good Smile Company umbrella of production houses, I know nothing about them, so this seemed like a good chance to get a feel for their product.
Fate/Extra CCC is the sequel to the PSP sequel to the original game. Tamamo no Mae is brought up back as one of the in game servants, and at some point in the game gets an optional Gothic style outfit. That outfit, my readers, is the subject of this piece.
Tamamo is sculpted in mid swivel while standing on a base with the Fate/Extra CCC emblem incorporated into it. I've not played the game, but it appears to me that the statue is not based on any of her character select images. She also comes with exactly one accessory - a single charm - that you insert into the fingers of her right hand.
The first thing one notices is just how much more busty Tamamo is compared to her standard outfit, mostly due to the more revealing bust line. Artists also took some liberties with her face. While she does have that dazzling smile, the portrait really doesn't look anything from the official artwork pile.
Rather than a simple dress of solid blue fabrics, the Gothic dress is made up of black fabric, with her frilly sleeves held together by large cord that is threaded through the various holes. She also has what appears to be a gold highlighted corset that accentuates her bust line and hip line, fabric connecting her neck to her bustline, and black heels rather than her more traditional wooden clogs.
The lighter black sections of her outfit have been replicated on the statue through the use of translucent plastic. Speaking of translucent plastics, her hair and fox tail are made with such materials as well, giving this figure a kind of glowing feeling.
The overall consensus is that this is a solid piece. The overall silhouette is curvy, a very good match for the character.
Paint work is very good, with the areas of weakness predominately around the various metal rings on her outfit and of course, parts of the gold highlights. There was no real overspray noted, and this would be most evident on the lighter coloured sections like her various bows and the white roses on her sleeves. Assembly and finishes on the various pieces appear to be top notch, so no concerns here. Fingernails are not painted, but there is not webbing there either.
As mentioned above the expression on her face is quite nice, and the clean paint work serves to further enhance this feature of hers. Her head, however, is probably the weakest feature of this statue as well. If you look at it from the side, Tamamo's noggin just looks.. alien. It's like the sculptor forgot what a jawline is supposed to look like for a character like this. Other weak features include the "acceptable" musculature on her shoulders and upper back.
It's always good to see that there are new players in the industry that are able to deliver the goods relatively new into their life. With prices in the mid $100 USD range, simply making a decent scale figure is no longer going to cut it. Based on this figure, I think Phat has what it takes to be a continued player in this market.
I guess I'll find out when I get my next Phat piece.
Translucent has the power over water and the creatures of the water. The only honorable member of the Adverse Adepts. Translucent offers refuge to Mach and Fleta in his underwater Demesnes when no one will support their cross-breed marriage of a half-human and robot, Mach, with a part-human hummingbird and unicorn woman, Fleta

These are the newest stars I made for autumn. They are made from a translucent paper that is cut into small pieces, folded multiple times per point, and then glued together to create the star.
The stars are available in my shop. Please see my Flickr profile for the link to my shop.
(I made two more of the orange & yellow; and red & orange stars for a Red/Orange/Yellow paper craft swap on Swap-Bot. One was sent to Germany and the other to Australia.)
Interesting patterns I noticed as I ate my watermelon... I like how the light comes through on this one.
Salmon skewers that have brined over night, now they will sit at room temperature for several hours developing a nice patina, before being hot smoked for an hour or so and then consumed. Recipe and procedure at Salmon University, idea for smoked skewers from Ray's Boathouse in Ballard.
Masterfully carved from a single block of the finest semi-
translucent alabaster, it rested on a small, gilded wooden sledge. A gilded frieze of djed pillars and girdles of Isis was wrapped around the base of the chest. Both the sloping lid and the front of the chest were decorated with the winged solar disc of Horus-of-Bedhet.
A symbolic representation of the shrine which contained it, the canopic chest contained 4 hollowed, cylindrical compartments for the storage of the miniature canopic caskets which held the pharaoh’s linen-wrapped viscera, each capped and sealed with an alabaster canopic stopper bearing the likeness of the pharaoh. The chest itself was safeguarded at its 4 corners by images sculpted in high relief, representing the tutelary goddesses Isis (southwest Nephthys (northwest), Selket (northeast), and Neith (southeast). Columns of sacred hieroglyphic invocations were incised on each of the inward-sloping sides of the chest, spoken by each of the goddesses for the magical protection of the royal bodily organs which, in turn, were watched over by the genii Imseti, Hapi, Duamutef, and Qebsenuef, the 4
sons of Horus. www.kingtutexhibit.com/catalogs/tutankhamun_catalog.pdf
