I was thinking that exact same thing, if with different thoughts/views on it.

Ingredients: eyeball 4 fruit 2 grain 2 Mortal Reviews: Allowed IMPORTANT: The main noun MUST use one of these: PIE Appearance: a bizarre pie with staring eyes Dropped: A curious pie lies discarded here, staring up at you forlornly. Examined: A rather disturbing culinary creation, this pie would be entirely unremarkable if not for a conspicuous pair of eyeballs poking out of the crust, as if it were capable of observing its surroundings. Covering a deep dish, the thick, buttery crust itself looks particularly delicious, though it conceals the contents of this pie entirely, which are undoubtedly just as curious. A small, stylised eye has been painted onto the lip of the dish. Consume: Cutting a slice of the pie, you are somewhat startled by its innards, which consists of a little sweet mince and many different eyeballs. Of varying size, shape and colour, you cannot begin to imagine where these 'ingredients' were gathered from. Taking an experimental bite, your palate is accosted by the flavour of pastry, fruit and milky ocular fluid. To your pleasant surprise, the crust is deliciously buttery and flaky and complements the sweet, fruity mince and salty eyeballs quite well. Gagging occasionally at the sensation of bursting the eyeballs in your mouth, you manage to finish the entire pie, though you feel somewhat repulsed and ashamed to do so. Smell: Though disconcerted by the illusion of it 'looking' at you, you delicately sniff at the pie, taking in the subtle scent of fruits and brine. Taste: You tentatively nibble at the crust of the pie, and discover it to be deliciously rich and flaky, though you feel somewhat offended by the huge, inquisitive eyes merely inches from your face.
Item: Shield Type: Greatshields Org: Public Designer: Casilu Commodities: iron 80 platinum 40 Mortal Reviews: Allowed IMPORTANT: The main noun MUST use one of these: TOWER, SHIELD Appearance: a tombstone shield Dropped: Here lies a tombstone shield, resting in peace. Examined: At first glance, this shield looks as though it has stood out in the elements for several decades. The tombstone has a rounded top and a flat bottom, the latter having some soil still clinging desperately to the bottom. The entire shield has patches of grave dirt on it; the scent of fresh dirt surrounds the air around the shield. A few words that were engraved into the large slab of iron but are now covered in rust and impossible to read, obscuring the name on the tombstone between the slightly legible platinum script that says 'Here lies' at the top of the shield, and the letters 'R.I.P.' at the bottom, both in very large letters. These platinum letters are the only part in this thick slab of iron not covered in rust and worn out by weather, but the centre of this iron sandwich is an untarnished platinum core. The back would have once been a flat, smooth surface, but it is now pitted and covered with rust. An unrusted iron handle is bolted onto the back, an abrupt change from the timeworn form of this shield.
Special thanks to Shaddus for helping me make it work just a little better.

The soles of the shoes are made of boiled leather to protect the wearer's feet from whatever surfaces he or she is walking across. Over the front of each slipper, a lyre has been embroidered in silver thread with such quality that it almost seems one could reach down and play a melody on them. Comments:

Examined: Glinting and gleaming in any available light, these slippers are absolutely dazzling. Each slipper is crafted from several multifaceted diamonds moulded to fit the wearer's foot perfectly. The cut of the diamonds is such that they catch and refract every scintilla of light, creating an unparalleled sparkle that immediately catches the eye. The insides are lined with satin cushioning for the wearer's comfort and to avoid causing unneccesary burns from prolonged exposure to sunlight. Comments:

Having 'enjoyed' what so many cooking designs seem to look like these days, I thought it was time for something different:

Item: Rice Type: Dishes Org: Public Designer: Lendren Ingredients: grain 4 fruit 2 sugar 2 milk 2 Mortal Reviews: Allowed IMPORTANT: The main noun MUST use one of these: RICE Appearance: a shockingly unusual bowl of rice porridge Dropped: An innocuous bowl of rice porridge sits here, gently steaming. Examined: At a casual glance, this bowl of rice porridge seems just like any other one might find in the kitchens of the Basin. Only on closer examination does the unusual nature of this comestible reveal its shocking surprise. The sanguinary hue that permeates the rice turns out not to be the clotted blood of the innocent, as one would usually expect, but, revoltingly, caramelised brown sugar. What seems at first to be bruised eyeballs immersed in the porridge turns out to be pitted plums, the vitreous ichor around them nothing more than the candied syrup in which the plums were preserved. Even the milky fluid which floats in the porridge is neither pustulent ichor nor the lymphatic secretions of the damned, but milk, presumably squirted out of a cow. Consume: You dig into the porridge with gusto, only to be shocked at the horrific tastes imbued in the rice. A sickly sweetness permeates the porridge, resembling caramelised brown sugar rather than the usual blood. You bite down into one of the disembodied eyes floating in the porridge only to find with horror it's actually a syrup-steeped pitted plum. Even the thick whitish liquid turns out to be disgustingly unusual, made from actual milk, squirted from the mammary glands of a cow. Realising your mistake too late, you force the last of the porridge down with a grimace, vowing to return to a more conventional diet at the next available opportunity. Smell: Something seems off about the aroma of this otherwise innocuous bowl of rice porridge. Taste: A tiny bit of the boiled rice gives an impression of a simple, sweet taste, but something is lacking.

Don't hate me. Okay, hate me if you want.
Excellent

that.
Although, porridge should be salty, not sweet. With milk and sugar and plums? So wrong. Porridge should be eaten with fermented chili bean curd, Chinese pickles (not sure which vegetable, but I think it is Chinese cabbage), and fish with salted black beans.
Also, I have these:

Item: Sandals Type: Shoes Org: Flameweavers Designer: Caerulo Commodities: leather 3 silver 1 sulfur 1 fireessence 1 Mortal Reviews: Allowed Layer: NORMAL Bodyparts: feet IMPORTANT: The main noun MUST use one of these: SANDALS Appearance: grasping finger-strapped sandals Dropped: A pair of empty leather soles lies here, grasping finger straps sewn to the sides. Examined: The plain soles of these sandals are crafted from comfortable leather and moulded to fit the form of the feet. The sandals caress the feet with five extended straps in the shape of fingers. The thumb wraps around the ankle, while the palm and digits hold the arch of the foot in place. The leather straps have been softened and bleached to a pale nude colour by chemicals, and are unnaturally warm to the touch. Fingernails shaped from burnished silver allow the straps to clip to the side of the soles.

Beautiful!
Sorry for the thread necro, wondering if anyone has any ideas for new tailoring designs? I'm always looking for new ones, so if you'd like to see something toss a PM my way and I'll design something up.

Taurian skin robes, with the head for a hood. I'd buy that.

You carefully study a forging design. Item: Hammer Type: Masterweapons Org: Solutions Commodities: milk 50 iron 150 Mortal Reviews: Allowed IMPORTANT: The main noun MUST use one of these: HAMMER Appearance: a milk-filled hammer Dropped: A hammer lies here with a small dribble of milk coming from the base of the handle. Examined: This looks like an ordinary iron hammer at first, but a slow dribble of white fluid from the base of the handle gives away the secret of the hammer. The entire hammer seems filled with a white fluid that sort of looks like milk. When given a taste, this will be confirmed. Engraved on one side of the hammerhead are instructions for removing butter buildup from the inner cavity. An image of what appears to be a cow-like furrikin giving a thumbs up is raised up from the opposite side of the hammerhead. A small warning under the image states that repeated use can weaken bones on area of contact despite milk content.

Item: Muffin Type: Baking Org: Dawncook Designer: Aeral Ingredients: vegetables 1 meat 3 rabbit 1 Mortal Reviews: Allowed IMPORTANT: The main noun MUST use one of these: MUFFIN Appearance: a meat and vegetable muffin Dropped: An oddly misshapen muffin lies on the ground here. Examined: Unlike the traditional muffin that can be seen in a typical bakery, this muffin has been completely comprised of meat and vegetables, the perfect choice for someone allergic to grain. Beef has been ground to form the dough, while vegetables and spices have been mixed in to give it a pleasant flavour resembling that of meat pie. A small trickle of red, presumably icing, decorates the very top. Consume: As you consume this culinary delight, you realise with horror that the red was not indeed icing, but a small amount of tangy metallic blood. Too late to turn back, you quickly gobble down the muffin, sobbing with horror at what you are about to do to your digestive system. With a sigh of relief, you manage the last bite of the utterly revolting muffin, potato wrapper and all. Smell: The delicious smell of meat and vegetables can be discerned from this muffin, along with a scent you can't quite place. Taste: As you take a small nibble off of the muffin, your taste buds explode with the rich flavours of a home-cooked roast, all in one small muffin.
...so it's a throw-away design. I still like it.

Eww..
Arranged in a circle around a plate are six rabbit skulls, each one sitting upright and facing outwards. The skulls have been peeled and boiled, revealing a light off-white colouring of the bone and ensuring that it is clean. The boiling process has weakened the bone, allowing one to easily crush the skulls. Placed inside the cavities of the skulls are crackers which are meant to cover the eyes, holding the thick minced meat and herbs within the skull. The mixture is made from rabbit meat, mixed with onions, chives, and an assortment of savoury spices.
It has been stamped with the seal of The Gourmonds Cooking Cartel.
You tentatively stick out your tongue and lick a platter of rabbit skulls. The gamey taste of rabbit mixed with onion flows strongly in what little you can taste. It is a healthy meal and is poisoned for instant death.
You quickly devour a platter of rabbit skulls. Taking up a skull and biting into it, the bones gives way with some resistance, opening up to reveal the treasure hidden within. The bone fragments and cracker add a dry crunch and little flavour compared to the mixture of meat which melts with onions and spices together in perfect harmony. The savoury treat is smooth, save for bits of bone and cracker, sliding down your throat with ease, leaving a lingering taste of rabbit meat and onions in your mouth.

Just saw this.
You carefully study a jewelry pattern. Item: Earring Type: Studs Org: Public Designer: Lendren Commodities: silver 4 iron 1 diamond 1 Mortal Reviews: Allowed IMPORTANT: The main noun MUST use one of these: EARRING Appearance: a dangling modifier earring Dropped: Carefully shaped from silver, light glints off a tiny tool suspended on an earring here. Examined: Dangling from a slender chain of fine silver links, the wearer's ear is given by a tiny tool a curious sparkle, obviously intended for modifying some kind of machinery, that makes up this earring. Its edges lined with flanges of varying sizes, the chain holds up the tiny tool at a significant distance from the ear, which is clearly decorative and not intended for actual use. Held on by a simple iron clasp, a light sprinkling of diamond dust gives the earring an extra sparkle. Comments:

It's Lendren's, because I still remember his rant about dangling modifiers in designs.
