I think I just scared all four cats with the loud squee I just let out! Thank you so much, wow, and thanks to I-TM4U, that's incredibly generous of them! Congratulations to sildil too :)
I'm lucky - I was given the calendar for Christmas so I've put it where nobody can miss it if they wanna eat in my house!
Ah, please don't worry - I expect most of my comment was just unanswerable enthusiasm! Added to which, you are so famous that someone else already took pity on me and showed me the secret location of a photo of your okita ring - the petal shape is very like the edging to okita's tsuba AND very like the plum blossom on hijikata's tsuba. But I expect you know all this! Anyway, no worries about not getting back to comments - just keep making the jewellery!
Actually, I didn't know any of that about Okita and Hijikata's tsubas, I don't know a great deal yet as my interest in Gackt and by extension Japan and its culture and history, including the Shinsengumi, is really rather new and I have a huge amount to learn. I was meaning to explain the Okita piece was just linked to him through the anime and the fact it's a sakura blossom and has a stone the colour of his eyes in the anime *blush*, anything else is purely a lucky coincidence. One of the things I wanted to say though was that I would LOVE to see pictures of his sword, including the tsuba and Hijikata's too, as I'd really like to make jewellery based more closely on them. I'm hungry for information on the historical Shinsengumi as well as the anime version!
Anyway, I'll get to your comment asap as after a quick look at your LJ, I think we have a lot in common and plenty to talk about!
Hee, I'm not famous though, I just make jewellery sometimes :D
