Essential Jewellery Making Tools for Every Craftsperson

When it comes to creating stunning, handcrafted pieces, having the right jewellery making tools is just as important as your creativity. Whether you’re a beginner exploring the art of jewellery design or an experienced artisan refining your skills, the proper tools make all the difference in precision, efficiency, and the quality of your final product.

At POD Jewellery, you’ll find a wide selection of high-quality supplies designed to bring your ideas to life.

Must-Have Jewellery Making Tools

Starting your jewellery-making journey? Here are some of the essential tools every craftsperson should have:

Pliers Set: A good set of pliers is the backbone of jewellery making. Round-nose pliers, flat-nose pliers, and chain-nose pliers help in bending, shaping, and connecting metals and wires with ease.

Cutters: Sharp flush cutters are essential for trimming wire cleanly and neatly without leaving rough edges.

Jewellery Saw: Perfect for detailed cuts in metal sheets and intricate designs.

Files and Sandpapers: After cutting, it’s important to smooth edges and refine shapes for a professional finish.

Mandrels and Ring Sizers: These tools help you create consistent loops, bends, and perfectly sized rings.

Beading Tools: If you're working with beads, you’ll need beading needles, thread, and crimping tools.

Hammers and Mallets: Different hammers serve different purposes, such as texturing metal or flattening wire without damaging it.

With these essential items in your toolkit, you'll be ready to start producing beautiful, professional-quality jewellery.

Investing in Quality Jewellery Making Supplies

Choosing high-quality jewellery making tools is an investment in your craft. Cheaper tools often wear out quickly or don’t perform with the precision you need. Good tools, on the other hand, offer:

Durability: Built to last through countless projects.

Precision: Better control for detailed work.

Comfort: Ergonomic designs that reduce hand fatigue during long hours of crafting.

At POD Jewellery, you'll find tools sourced for durability, reliability, and ease of use — perfect for hobbyists and professionals alike.

Tips for Choosing the Right Tools

Start with Basics: Begin with a quality set of pliers and cutters before expanding your toolkit.

Match Your Style: Different jewellery styles (like wire wrapping, metal stamping, or beading) require different tools.

Buy in Sets: Tool kits can offer better value and ensure you have everything you need to get started.

Focus on Comfort: Look for ergonomic handles to make long crafting sessions more comfortable.

By selecting the right tools, you not only improve the quality of your jewellery but also enjoy the crafting process a whole lot more.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re creating delicate earrings, bold necklaces, or custom rings, the right jewellery making tool are essential for bringing your creative visions to life.

WHATTA MAN ! JUJUTSU KAISEN MEN & THEIR LOVE LANGUAGES.

CW: PURELY FLUFF, SLIGHT SUGGESTIVENESS? A/N: a (non proof-read) pallet cleanser of fluff

I. ACTS OF SERVICE. TOJI.

toji isn't the best man when it comes to articulating his feelings verbally, he'll produce a few 'i love you's here and there in those especially intimate moments the both of you find yourselves in the comfort of your bedroom, but outside toji finds himself cut short, gruff and refusing to show any hints of sappiness to any onlookers seeing him as your man; your fierce protector, or whatever he stubbornly tells himself. so he translates his emotions via a more physical means of communication; need him to pick something of the top shelf and he'll gladly grab it for you. shoes untied? he'll bend down without a word. can't reach an apple of a tree that you desperately wan to pick? he'll lift you up, onlookers be damned. it even happens in the comfort of your home, the minute you even bring up the words 'repair man' he gives you an insulted look, already halfway towards his tool box. he'll gladly do these things for the rest of his life, too, as long as you thank him properly in the end, of course.

II. GIFT GIVING. GOJO, SHIU.

gojo's principle is simple enough; he has money to spend, so why not spend it on you? he'll shower you with five star meals and expensive candy, pretty jewellery you've had your eyes on for a while, all while claiming it's 'nothing special'. but really it's more than that it's the idea of him knowing he's able to put that pretty smile on your face by doing something he spent his whole life thinking nothing of; the idea of knowing you're happy because of him; the idea that his actions were worth your happiness. what's the point of being the strongest if he isn't rewarded with your smile in the end?

shiu buys you gifts for more of his satisfaction than yours if he's being completely honest. he comes across something he'll like seeing on your body, best believe he's immediately swiping his card as quick as lightening. and if it's not clothing he'll appreciate more on you, the attention and affection you shower him with over just a bouquet of flowers is enough to plaster that stupid, smug, nonchalant smirk on his face. it's nothing really, he'll say as you swell his ego with hugs and kisses, even if inside his giggling and skipping around like a little girl. but, hey, it's a win - win, right?

III. QUALITY TIME. NANAMI, CHOSO.

it's no secret the amount of overtime nanami spends working, precious hours he would rather be spending in your presence. so when the weekend, holidays or any of his days off roll around, the blonde finds himself at his happiest. he'll make sure the both of you get to sleep in just enough for the extra resting hours he needs while simultaneously leaving enough time left in the day to enjoy each others' company. whether you spend the day in the kitchen, messing around and baking bread, or watching a bunch of movies on the sofa, wrapped around in a fluffy blanket; he cherishes every second he can get with you. bonus points if he manages to get any pictures of you in the moment, nanami makes sure to get a printed copy of his favourite to keep in his wallet ( the rest are kept in an album in his phone titled 'my future wife'), so wherever he is, at any time, he'll have access to your face and the memories you've formed.

choso's idea of quality time is more akin to that of a lost puppy following a potential owner around, the man is clingy. every second you spend away from him is practically unbearable, and when he gets his hands on you he traps you within his embrace, his larger body undetachable from yours the minute you enter the house. he'll follow you around everywhere; the kitchen to get a snack? the bathroom to take a piss? he's right behind you, listening to whatever rants you have leaving your lips as you do those simple, mundane tasks like it's the most important thing in the world. he never knew he could love someone so deeply outside of his brothers, so he's definitely going to do everything in his power to make it last as long as possible with no second put to waste.

IV. WORDS OF AFFIRMATION. HIROMI.

hiromi is one of the biggest gentlemen you'll ever meet, especially when it comes to words. feeling sad or disappointed with yourself? he's quick to cheer you up, telling you how perfect you are to him, how anyone who disagrees is the silliest person he's ever met. he'll always notice whether you've done something new with your appearance or surroundings, praising you long enough for it to be drilled into your mind, undisputable to any negative remarks anyone might have to say in response to it. and any insecurities you have will quickly be shut down; how foolish of you to think of yourself any less than what you are, the most beautiful creation in the universe. he'll spend all night drumming it into your system, among other things of course.

V. PHYSICAL TOUCH. SUKUNA.

sukuna is the king of curses, a demon that has been feared for centuries! he has no time for such trivial matters of love and affection. quite hard to believe when he refuses to keep his hands off you. how dare you stray away from the comfort of his lap during his meetings, do you think you can refuse him that easily? mornings are the worst, his large 7ft+ body sprawled over yours, pinning you onto the mattress with no escape. during the day he forbids you from leaving his side; 'my enemies will try to capture you.' he claims, even if it's all just an excuse for him to keep his hand on your hip or back, staking his claim in front of any men who might find the balls to so much as think of wooing you. and if you try to get away he turns into a stubborn caveman, scoffing at your gall while pulling you back even tighter. it's not love, it's just... possessiveness... and don't you dare tell anyone how needy he gets, he's not above punishing his lover partner.

Tip me

Check out my other readings

Pile 1-

LMAOOO I know bitches MAD. There are alot of people that just linger around you. Very very cool girl vibe I wonder if you all love the symbol of star, metallic jewellery sort of things, hinge cut or bangs and prefer using wired earphones? Bubble gum plays in my head have y'all checked the acubi style? Jewellery suits you all alot metallic so do try it. Anyways people might want to dress you up? You ooze coolness? Wherever you go people stare you don't have a well put together style but people LOVE your style. Women in general look up to you more and you are very messy. I'm seeing nana as well? Unconventional pretty the type of pretty that haunts people. People also feel as if you give off some ominous vibe they might be very scared of you and might think of you as someone who's very scary. I see people not wanting to even talk to you at first simply bc they're scared. Alot of rumours go around about you that make you seem more scary? People might even think that you will beat them up if they say something wrong 😭 women look up to you ALOT one sound keeps playing in my head it's in russian but I can't seem to name it. Whenever you go people always stare at you not because they necessarily want to but because they cannot help it. Men are naturally submissive and scared of you too lmao might make up shit about you simply because they have no balls.

Pile 2-

I see alot of mixed opinions people might not be able to grasp you easily so they might at times form a judgement about you that they themselves are aware of not being correct. She's a star started playing in my head y2k fashion, long time to go by cassie I heard "keep em in your pants" very cliche old rom coms, flared jeans. Anyways, people think of you as someone who is unpredictable like they always have to be on their toes with you because they never know what you are upto. "You look like a bratz doll" is what I heard lol. People also might not be able to lie to you very easily even the ones that you've met for the first time. There's a certain type of pull that you have that makes people very uncomfortable in lying to you. Some people also see you as someone who's extremely hardworking and resilient. I see these are the people that have actually observed you I saw those tools in the chemistry labs. Some of you take chemistry classes or work in a lab where people find you very fascinating. You turn things into magic is what I'm hearing 🪄 this emoji hahaha. You are capable of building and making new magical things. People wish to talk to you alot because they are very fascinated by you and observe you alot this is men mainly

Pile 3-

People might think of you as very distant this is also physically for some reason? Alot of people on the internet also have alot of opinions on you. Do you use discord or twitter? People form first impressions of you there are well and I feel like alot of population that chose this pile is the more digitally active one. I'm also feeling cold so anyways people might feel a bit sorry for you? People might think of you as someone who's suffering in someone why am I seeing snow or seeing so much cold "it matters where you are" from that one song started playing. People might also get the impression that you might not have the best family life? They might want to offer you help but you might seem too closed off. I'm seeing alot of black clothes and this reminds me of that daughter from the atypical family. People might also see you as very brave too they might actually be impressed "I wish I was half as brave as her" is what I'm hearing. Do you try to hide yourself with your clothes? People might also get the idea that you are very over burdened with things and situations. I keep seeing people constantly wanting to be close to you or help you out in some way but you close them out every single time. There is a girl in particular that has very pure intentions. I'm seeing the movie soulmates the korean one such brilliant movie do give it a try

Pile 4-

I believe that the photo you felt the pull towards speaks alot but still people listen when you talk. You are very fluent and straightforward in your manner of talking I wonder if you have sun in your 2h or a prominent sun. You have a very clear and commanding way of talking. love you love you love you love you that one instagram song keeps playing in my head. People see you as someone who is a leader it's like when you enter a group you are automatically handed over the title of the leader without anyone having to say it. Someone who sees the bigger picture and is a visionary. Everyone looks up to you alot especially your juniors or people younger than you. You are someone who knows what they want and have a clear goal in life. I'm seeing table tennis for some reason all of a sudden? Anyways zendaya is very similar to this. Someone who overcomes challenges very easily. Hmm at times people might feel as if you are slacking off? Or not doing as much as you can? I'd usually say this is people being jealous of you but this is coming from your closest ones. And this is not them hating on you but a genuine advice. Everyone knows that you have a tremendous amount of potential and you are working hard but not as hard as you can. "Are you scared of your own potential" and I heard "raw" immediately the black swan movie came in my head. You are also a very brilliant friend to everyone even to strangers.

Little Things - Sylus x Isekai Fem Reader

Summary: When your consciousness somehow ended up in the LADS MC’s body right as Sylus’ character was released. You went through what the MC was supposed to do in the game and while waiting for the next update, you’ve gotten closer to Sylus that he treats you with everything you couldn’t have in your world

A/N: I can’t help but make a fic where you took over the MC’s body and became the MC. Though in this fic, Sylus already knows that you’re not exactly the MC yet he’s also not complaining about your company and even started to open up to you and even allow you to use his money but he’s confused as to why you’re not spending as much as he thought

I was inspired by a fic that I read on Tumblr by @atoltia

Sequel: Welcome to My World

Disclaimer: I do not own the images nor the characters or you (the MC). All images were taken from Pinterest.

Warning: will be using MC instead of (Y/N) as it’s easier for me, fluff, slight angst (no character death), overthinker MC, soft Sylus

“You go talk to him” Luke nudged his twin brother who stared back at him thinking that he was crazy

“Are you crazy? I’m not talking to him. Have you seen how he’s been the past few weeks? He’s been on his phone, checking something out almost every day unless he’s with MC” Kieran replied back as both he and Luke were eyeing Sylus who was in his study, wearing some comfortable clothing and glasses while scrolling through his phone

“Do you think that he’s planning to do something for MC? Like maybe propose to her? I mean. ever since their first meeting, he’s been different? More attentive towards MC. He even gave her the brooch which is the direct access to the N109 zone. He even let her drive his cars and do whatever she wanted with the place though I like her style. It feels more homey nowadays” Luke pointed out and Kieran agreed with his twin

The twins kept on talking in front of the study room until Sylus had it and called the twins inside. “I know you both are out there. Either come in and report what you want to report or leave before I stop letting either of you peek around”

Immediately, the twins walked into the study where they saw their boss still not looking up from his phone. The twins looked at each other before agreeing to speak at the same time.

“We cleaned up at the next like you said” Kieran mentioned

“Are you going to propose to MC?” Luke mentioned

The twins looked at each other, confused that their twin telepathy was not working when they needed it. Hearing a grunt, the twins immediately apologised and begged Sylus to not hurt them or worse; make them clean the entire penthouse.

“What Luke meant was how is MC?” Kieran quickly changed his twin’s wording

“Yea. That’s what I meant. I mean, you seem to be glued to your phone boss. We assume that it’s because of MC so we were wondering if anything happened to her or if you need us to watch her?” Luke added on

“Actually, perhaps you can watch her for me” Sylus mentioned and the twins sighed of relief until they heard the next words come out of Sylus’ mouth. “I’d like to know why isn’t she using my card like I expected her to”

The twins looked at each other, confused once more. “What do you mean she’s not using your card, sir?” Kieran asked

“Do you think she lost it? Or perhaps she gave it to someone and that’s why her spending is crazy” Luke added on and for the first time, the twins saw their boss put his phone down only to open up several holographic files; specifically transactions from his card

“No. It’s quite the opposite actually. She has my card. She uses it but not as much as I thought. She’s only spending on the daily necessities and occasionally a book or two. Never any jewellery, any new clothing. She only bought one hairdryer set and never any other hair tools except a brush and clips and even those are cheap. The most she spent was just a water dispenser and an air fryer. What, does she think that she’s being stingy if she were to spend a lot of my money? Or perhaps she wants to seem more independent? What if she thinks that I’m in debt?” Sylus kept going on until the twins stopped him

“Uh, boss. I don’t think it’s any of those reasons” Luke mentioned, catching Sylus’ attention. “What do you mean, Luke?”

“I mean. I’ve, we’ve, talked to her sometimes and she just mentioned that she doesn’t know what to use all the money for. I don’t think that she thinks you’re in debt or feel bad about using your money. It’s just that she’s not used to it. Not used to having a lot of money that she’s overwhelmed?” Luke explained while Sylus had a deep thought

“Overwhelmed? It’s the first I heard of this. You would think that when someone has this amount of money in the palm of their hands, they would go crazy almost immediately” Sylus replied

“Well, she’s not like most people, sir” Luke added on and that’s what got Sylus to get up from his study room and go to find MC

Sylus looked around for you in the penthouse from the kitchen, living room, the guest bedroom where you typically like to be when you’re alone, and finally, his bedroom which is practically your shared bedroom ever since an incident that happened early in your meeting together.

As he was walking towards the master bedroom, Sylus could hear some music playing. Slowly opening the door to the room, Sylus peeked in and saw your small figure on the bed, humming to the music that was playing from your phone at the same time doing something.

Smiling to himself, Sylus decided to lean by the door as he made himself noticed by you. “Sweetie, what are you doing in here all alone?”

Looking up from your hands, you looked at Sylus who put on that soft smile only for you. “Hi Sy. I’m just trying to stitch up a T-shirt of mine. I’m almost done. Do you need help to make dinner?” you asked, finishing up the T-shirt you were stitching as Sylus made his way towards you

“No. I’ve decided to order in for tonight. I got your favourites” Sylus mentioned as you hummed

“There we go. Finally done. So, dinner?” you mentioned, placing down the T-shirt you were sewing which made Sylus chuckled

“It’s on its way, sweetheart. Which means…” Sylus grabbed your hand and yanked you towards him, laying down on the bed together as he held you close. “We have a bit of time to ourselves before dinner comes”

Giggling at his clingy behaviour, you accepted defeat that you couldn’t fight him on this and just leaned your head to his chest, listening to his slightly abnormal fast heartbeat while feeling Sylus’ fingers going through your hair.

“Sweetie…” Sylus called you while you hummed, feeling a bit drowsy

“Why do you work so hard to sew your T-shirt when you could’ve bought a new one? You know that I can find someone to make the exact same one with the same materials and everything” Sylus mentioned

“I know” you answered, drawing circles on Sylus’ chest while continuing. “I know that you could most probably buy anything I want and more. But while all that sounds good, it’s the little things, the memories that come with what I have now that matter”

“Is that so?” Sylus asked, as if he was still unsure of your answer and the tone he used made you look up at him. “Is there something wrong with my answer? Was it not what you expected? Along with how I’ve been using your card?” you asked back which made Sylus chuckle

“You know me so well, don’t you kitten?” Sylus chuckled, caressing your cheek with his large hands now making you giggle

“I mean, I’ve been observing you longer than you observing me. But you should know, I’m more than grateful for you giving me your card. It’s an incredible privilege and it makes me know how much trust you have in me. Though, I don’t need all that when I can do all the little things with you. Even as simple as cleaning together or moments like right now is what I cherish the most” you mentioned and using his hand that was on your cheek, Sylus gently lifted your face as he gave your lips one of the softest kisses you ever had whilst caressing your cheek at the same time

Pulling away, you were met with Sylus’ soft gaze and smile once again and instantly felt the heat rush to your cheeks as you questioned him. “W-what’s with the sudden affection”

Smirking, Sylus pulled your smaller body with him as he sat on the bed, leaning at the headboard. “Why not? You said you cherish the little things and moments. If you won’t accept being spoiled by my wealth then I might as well spoil you with what you actually want, isn’t that right?”

Hearing those words out of his mouth made your head feel light. Throughout your life back home, you rarely get any affection from those close to you; resulting in indulging yourself with what used to be a “silly game” until you somehow ended up in the silly game yourself.

You closed your eyes, worried that water that was building in your eyes would spill because of the constant worry and thought that this was all just a dream. Noticing your quiet self, Sylus grew worried and cupped your face with both his hands and saw that a tear managed to slip out of your eye. “Sweetie? What’s wrong? Was I pressuring you?”

Shaking your head, you managed to reply to him. “No. You’re not. It’s just…I’m, I worry”

“Worry? About what sweetheart? Take your time. I got you” Sylus replied

“I…you know I don’t belong here and yet you still spoil me. What if one day, I somehow wake up and I’m back in my own world? What if one day when you wake up, it’s who you were supposed to meet that greets you? What if…” Sylus didn’t let you continue as he immediately kissed you once again, though this time was slightly rough with a sense of urgency

“I don’t want any what ifs, kitten. You’re here. In my arms. My lips are on yours. Your body might be someone else’s but your soul is what I care more about. Even if one day you go back. I’ll find a way. Against all odds, I’ll find a way back to you even if it’s against the universe” Sylus stated, his grip on your face getting a bit tighter as if he was afraid that you’d slip away

“Sylus…” you softly called him, holding his hand that was on your face when Sylus grabbed your hand, interlacing your fingers together

“You feel this? It’s real. Just like me. Just like right now. So stop saying these things or do you need me to show you how real this is?” Sylus mentioned, his tone was a bit harsh but soft at the same time

“You’re crazy you know that. Defying the universe to go to another” you pouted but it successfully made Sylus chuckle

“I am. I would do that you know” Sylus took your hand and kissed the knuckles. “I’d do whatever it takes to find you”

“But you don’t know what I actually look like” you argued

“I know your name, your age, how you act” Sylus replies, making you chuckle

“You really are a stubborn crow, aren’t you?” you teased and Sylus leaned down to kiss your forehead. “Only for you, sweetie”

“Come. Dinner should be arriving. We can put on that show you’ve been wanting to watch. Or we can do something else” Sylus mentioned, picking you up so suddenly that you immediately wrapped your arms around his neck

“Can we just chill on the sofa with some chill movie and cuddle?” you asked

Smiling, Sylus kissed you again. “Anything you want, sweetie. We’re making the most together and appreciating all the little things, remember?”

Sylus then brought the two of you to the living room where he let you turn on the TV and ate dinner together, wrapping a blanket around the two of you as you both enjoyed the rest of the night basking in each other’s embrace and enjoying these small intimate moments together.

A/N: OMG thank you so much to everyone who has been reading, liking, and reblogging my Sylus fics T^T I truly did not expect so many people enjoy my writing especially the fact that I'm new to the LADS space. If anyone wants to be mutuals on the game, do message me!! Otherwise, thank you for reading and hope this fic managed to brighten your day!! xoxo peanutwott

Whether you’re a beginner or a professional jeweller, having the right jewellery making tools is essential for precision and efficiency. This guide will cover the must-have tools for jewellery making and their uses.

1. Basic Hand Tools for Jewellery Making

Before diving into advanced tools, it’s important to start with basic hand tools that help with shaping, cutting, and assembling jewellery pieces.

Pliers Set – Essential for gripping, bending, and shaping metal. Types include:

Round-nose pliers (for making loops and curves)

Flat-nose pliers (for gripping and flattening)

Chain-nose pliers (for closing jump rings)

Wire Cutters – Used for cutting metal wires and beading cords cleanly.

Tweezers – Help in handling small beads, gemstones, and intricate parts.

Tip: Invest in high-quality pliers with comfortable grips to avoid hand fatigue.

2. Cutting and Shaping Tools

Creating stunning jewellery often requires cutting and shaping different materials like metal, wire, and gemstones.

Jeweller’s Saw – A fine saw used for cutting intricate designs in metal sheets.

Metal Files – Smooth rough edges after cutting metal.

Mandrels – Used to shape rings, bracelets, and earrings to a specific size.

Bezel Pusher & Burnisher – Help in setting stones into metal frames securely.

Tip: Use a variety of file shapes (flat, round, and half-round) to achieve smooth finishes.

3. Soldering and Joining Tools

For metal jewellery making, soldering is an essential technique to join metal pieces together.

Soldering Iron or Torch – Used to melt solder and join metals.

Pickling Solution – Cleans oxidation and residue from soldered jewellery.

Third Hand & Soldering Tweezers – Helps hold small pieces in place while soldering.

Tip: Always wear safety goggles and work in a ventilated area when soldering.

4. Polishing and Finishing Tools

After assembling the jewellery, polishing and finishing give it a professional look.

Polishing Cloth & Buffing Wheels – Remove scratches and add shine.

Tumbler Machine – Provides a smooth finish to multiple pieces at once.

Dremel Rotary Tool – Great for detailed polishing, drilling, and engraving.

Tip: Use different polishing compounds for a mirror-like shine on metals.

okay so, a while back I got the request for a Former Rich Kid Angel AU. So consider this my spin on that x

______________________________________________________________

Mechanic!David who runs the only repair shop in town, complete with an old German shepherd named Boss, a beat-up radio always playing classic rock, and a strict "don’t talk to me unless you’re bleeding or your car is", policy.

Mechanic!David who wears grease like war paint and only speaks in monosyllables before 10 a.m.

Mechanic!David who has scars on his knuckles from fights he doesn’t talk about and tattoos he won’t let anyone ask about either.

Mechanic!David who doesn't know what to say when a person, who reminds him of a reincarnation of Rarity from My Little Pony, strides into his back-alley shop. Actually, crashes might be a better word.

Literally - scrapes the side of their inherited Porsche pulling into his garage with a huge lip gloss-stained smile.

Mechanic!David who takes one look at this ethereal creature standing before him, one who is covered in glitter and pink and the loudest jewellery he's ever seen, and swears his heart stops beating.

Mechanic!David who fixes their car for free even though Angel keeps insisting on paying, so he simply murmurs, “Fine. Pay me in silence. Just sit there, look pretty, and don’t test my patience.”

Mechanic!David who picks little fights just to watch his cute customer's clock tick. Most end up with them both covered in motor oil, laughing their arses off.

Some end up with Angel stamping their heels into the ground, storming out, tripping on the step, and David grumbling, “For the love of—just watch your damn feet, sweetheart.”

Mechanic!David who scoffs when Angel brings him hand cream “because your hands look like sandpaper made love to barbed wire.”

“I use motor oil like a man.”

“And that explains so much.”

Mechanic!David who almost short-circuited and slammed the hood of his latest customer's car on his hand when they leant over the car hood to point at something. They were too close, they smelled too good, and that shirt was too damn sheer.

Mechanic!David who literally forgets what tool he’s holding. Ends up gripping a wrench like it’s a lifeline. His Angel just grins. “Need a minute, big guy?”

Mechanic!David who when Angel flinches at thunder, pulls them into his lap in the backseat of the car he’s fixing and says, “You’re alright, baby. I’ve got you.”

Mechanic!David who one day accidentally calls them “baby” and immediately goes silent like he’s committed a war crime.

Angel melts. And then makes it worse by saying, “Aww. You’re soft for me.”

“One more word and I’m throwing your designer sunglasses in the parts washer.”

Mechanic!David who doesn't know what to say when Angel stops by late at night, too late to be innocent, wearing something that does not belong in a messy shop.

He leans against the garage wall, arms crossed, jaw tight. “You know what coming here like that does to me, right?”

Angel: “Why do you think I do it?”

Mechanic!David who tries to stay gruff. Tries to stay in control.

But then Angel moans softly while stretching in his passenger seat, and suddenly he's white-knuckling the steering wheel and considering running red lights just to get home faster.

“You don’t even know what you do to me,” he mutters one night, pushing them against the hood of a car he just finished. “Then show me,” Angel whispers back, smiling like they already know.

Mechanic!David who notices very quickly that Angel is so out of place, and so in love with the idea of being ruined by him.

Their designer clothes keep getting grease-stained. They don’t seem to care anymore. His touch stains deeper.

They start leaving expensive things around the garage. A silk scarf, a gold ring, a perfume bottle. Little breadcrumbs. Territory. David notices. Keeps them in a drawer. Pretends he doesn’t smell them when he’s alone.

Mechanic!David who, after their first time, holds Angel tight against him on the mattress of the truck bed they laid out.

“You’re dangerous,” they murmur. “And you like danger, don’t you, sweetheart?”

He calls them "trouble" like it's a nickname and a kink.

They call him "sir", half-joking. He stops breathing for five full seconds.

Mechanic!David who teaches them how to use a socket wrench. Angel gets distracted and ends up pressed between him and the hood of the car. “That’s not a torque setting,” they murmur. “I’ll show you what pressure feels like,” he growls in their ear.

Mechanic!David who knows when they’re anxious, smells like rain and static. His fingers twitch when they walk in quiet.

Once, Angel shows up with red-rimmed eyes and no explanation. He just hands them his hoodie, sits them on the hood of the car, and starts working.

Doesn’t say a word. Just stays near. They end up falling asleep listening to the sound of his tools.

Mechanic!David who gets possessive without realising it. Puts his hand on their thigh when someone else stares too long. Sits them on his lap when they look too pretty and someone flirts too hard.

Once says, “You don’t need them. You’ve got me.” It slips out. He pretends it didn’t happen.

Mechanic!David who loves when Angel falls asleep in his truck. Curled up in the passenger seat after a long day at the garage, sunburned nose and smudged mascara.

He doesn’t wake them. He just turns the radio down, takes the long way home. Sometimes he parks outside their place, sits in the driver’s seat for 40 minutes just watching them sleep. Heart hurting. Like he’s been given something fragile and real.

Mechanic!David who welds a bracelet from scrap metal for their birthday. It’s rough, imperfect. They wear it everywhere.

Makes them a jewelry holder out of old spark plugs. They cry.

Mechanic!David who isn’t good with words, but he tries for them.

“I’m not great at this,” he mutters once after an argument. His Angel just watches him from their spot on the end of his King bed; silent, unnerving.

David kneels beside them, rests his forehead against their hip, and whispers, “Don’t leave. I’m still learning. But I know I love you.

You know I love you.”

low energy devotion acts for lady hestia

{something i do when i either feel very bad or just don't have much energy}

sometimes veiling takes a tool on me, being judged and whispered about when im in public, so in times when it's really hard i just get my hair in a bun, out of my face

slow down when eating, i have a habbit of forgetting to eat and when i actually eat i do it in seconds, but when i catch myself i try to simply slow down, give thanks to lady hestia

have a pinterest boards dedicated to decor you want to have, want to make

and also a pinterest boards dedicated to food you like or want to make, cozy hobbies you want to try, maybe crafts that you already know how to make, i feel so connected to lady hestia every time i find a new craft i can make {and use as decor later}

journaling, even if i just write one sentence in a week, maybe i don't write at all i just open my journal and take in the energy i already put in it

i feel like lady hestia likes when you write for her, no matter what it is, poetry, short stories, journals, prayer, tumblr post, everything

setting my phone aside and not looking at the time, slowing down, taking as much time as i need, letting my body clock decide when to pick up work and when to do have cozy time

nap, sleep, staying in bed for those additional 5 minutes

treating drinking my morning coffee as a ritual, even if im doing something while drinking, it's like every sip of my hot beverage is a step in the ritual

wearing jewellery that reminds me of her, i try to keep the ring dedicated to her on the altar so everything i need to pick it up ismts full of her gentle energy

letting myself be bored and not do anything, instead of stressing what to do next just to do something

Hi Mr homunculus!

Been seeing your mothgoth projects over my dash and I love the idea/theme sm!

Been recently liking cicadas and thinking of doing the same thing.

What are your top 5 pieces of advice you'd give to past-you at the start of the project?

Any advice for me?

What has been your best/worst/most memorable idea/plan or piece you've made?

My main advice is

The first attempt is going to look bad. Do not expect that one to go right. You'll do it wrong, but you gotta do it wrong first before you figure out how to do it right. You can take your things apart and re-make them for as many times as you want until the fabric falls apart, as many times as it takes for you to be satisfied with it.

Cultivate before you curate. When you first start developing your own style, don't try to be picky. Gather everything that you might like - this is where thrift shopping becomes vital, shopping used secondhand clothes is cheaper than buying new, and nowhere near as wasteful. On top of that, if you end up not liking something, back to the flea market it goes. No gain, no loss.

Everything is going to look bad until it doesn't. Looking like shit is a normal part of the process, you just gotta trust that it's going to become something, and keep working until it's done.

You own your tools and materials and can do whatever you want forever. Don't hesitate to break something apart if you don't like it and don't use it. Take apart jewellery that you don't wear and use it for parts for something more fun. Grab a seam ripper and take the sleeves off a t-shirt that's otherwise great if it weren't for the sleeves. Go apeshit.

Don't try to sew leather like it's fabric. Neither of you will enjoy that.

My worst idea is probably the one I am currently working on - trying to fix my shoes at home - but I am trying to trust the process and simply assuming that it's going to be fine and work out in the end.

What I think is in your bag based on your moon sign?

Hellooo! So I’m making this post because I’ve noticed some patterns in people’s bags based on their moon signs and I felt like it’s worth getting shared. Lemme just say I am studying now for my exams (finals week or my final week). I swear if I open that exam paper and the first question covers exactly what I didn’t study, I will slowly close that paper and cry. I can’t even think about cheating, cause these invigilators WILL BE sniffing me up the ass just to see if my calculator is programmable or not. First exam tmrw so wish me luck guys!

These observations are based on my personal experiences so don’t take it as full facts. These placements can also be influenced by other things in someone’s chart like degrees, houses and aspects. Also if u have any suggestions for what content you’d like to see feel free to let me know. English is not my first language lads so don’t drag me for grammatical errors. xoxo

Aries moon: I think for you guys, it’s like an organised mess. U might throw stuff in one day and then forget ab it only to reach a month later in your bag and go “owwww, so this is where it was!”. I also noticed that they r weirdly prepared for a lot of things, like u have randomly spare chargers or tissues or in general useful stuff that u didn’t necessarily planned for, but rather gathered over time and never got rid off. If u carry paper with u, its almost always wrinkled or ripped, please get a nice folder.

Taurus moon: these people will carry things that make them feel comfortable. Expect things like, wet tissues in case their hands are dirty or perfumes. They r the type to carry extra makeup in case they need to retouch during the day. They tend to have heavier bags bc they will carry half of their home with them (but they will rlly only use a quarter of their things they bring). They r the type to prepare their bag once and not rlly change much in it. Like they will have all the things they feel they need and won’t ever switch it.

Gemini moon: these people can go two ways depending on where they r going. If the go to work/school they will actually carry all their books and utensils (they never work as well). They might also have heavier bags due to the amount of materials they bring with them (ease up love, u prolly don’t even use them all at once). If they go out, god knows their purses are a mystery. These people might prefer smaller bags over bigger ones. In their bags u will 100% find things like forgotten gum, random cookies or snacks, pieces of paper with random stuff on them, etc.

Cancer moon: for these people, their bags will hold high significance. I would say they might carry things that they feel connected to. For each person it varies. I know some cancer moons that love to carry medicine with them in case the ones around them get a bit sick, some that carry snacks in case they feel hungry, some that carry little trinkets that remind them of some special memories, etc. (u get the point). All of the cancer moons I know also carry tissues with them.

Leo moon: u guys will 100% carry a rlly cute pocket mirror w u. These people will have things in their bag that they will use to help retouch themselves during the day. U might even carry spare earrings or possibly even have random jewellery in ur bag. Designer wallet! Every Leo moon I know has a designer wallet (sometime it’s empty). They r more prone to have luxury products in their bag.

Virgo moon: organised folders, high quality pens and paper. They r over packers. They have everything! I am very close w a Virgo moon and whenever we go out and I need smth, they have it. Breath spray, gum, tissues, notebooks, pens, id, extra jacket, etc. They r prepared and so is their wallet. They cannot leave the house empty handed, it’s illegal for them. I’m not sure what they r called, but all Virgo moons I know have that all purpose pocket tool thing, the Swiss pocket knife.

Libra moon: these people will have a very balanced bag. What I mean by that is that they will have an equal amount of stuff that is practical and stuff that is just there as an extra. They r also fairly prepared but in a more chill way. They have some good essentials that never leave their bag. Makeup is a must. Also they always have quite nice pens. I’ve noticed some even have things in that serve no purpose, like a small plushie that they like or a random sticker that they just keep there.

Scorpio moon: they do carry crystals with them. A lot of Scorpio moons people I know are nicotine enjoyers, but even if they aren’t they do carry a lighter with them. Their bag is honestly everywhere. They will have the most random things inside. Kinda messy but in an endearing way. They r the type of people that if u asked them “i know u prolly don’t, but do u maybe have squiggly scissor?”, they will pull that exact unexped object out.

Sagittarius moon: these people r carrying their ID with them just in case they want to do smth impromptu. Expect a good book or maybe a kindle. Journals! Mints! Wired earbuds and an old music player because they swear it sounds different. They might have a good luck charm that never leaves their bag. Sometime even concert or festival bracelets.

Capricorn moon: everything here has a purpose. My sister is literally a cap moon and I haven’t seen her carry more than necessary. Even if it’s going out just to chill, pure essentials (like she leaves the house with lipgloss and a phone). For school, this girl carries every book, every notebook,nice pens, iPad, id, wallet, etc. Bags are not intentionally heavy. If they r heavy that means that they simply need a lot of things.

Aquarius moon: random receipts and pieces of junk. Tangled headphones. My friend always needs her headphones. If she forgot them at home she’d go back just to get them. Lighters and almost always tarot cards. These people have hard to pin down bags. They just vibe out their day and splash wtv inside. If they go to work/school they can never find anything in that bag, “I swear I put my pen somewhere here, where tf is itttt”, I think I heard that so much.

Pisces moon: they will get emotionally attached to a bag and the things inside. U guys also r the type to carry good essentials in ur bag. I noticed the amount of sugar pack these people have in their bags is insane. They r the type to take those free complementary sugar/toothpicks/salt packs they give at restaurants. I am very close to a Pisces moon and every single time I sit down with them, they rob half the table. Love y’all tho, cause they will take it, but they will share it w u.

I hope u guys liked this as well! I am planning on doing another astrocartography post soon, so keep an eye out for that! Till next time stay healthy and glowing! xoxo
