I have a question. Is the story supposed to be about the process of making the artifact (as the title and opening paragraphs indicate), or is the completed artifact itself supposed to figure prominently in the story (as the section between the first two illustrations seems to suggest)? Because it doesn't seem to me as though it can be both - unless maybe you're going for a sort of synopsis of the artifact's whole career?
Sorry for taking so long to notice the comment. I'd like the story to tie into the creation of the artifact. Not necessarily the actual creation, so immediate fallout might be a fun way to approach it. Just not stories of finding a thing made in ages past.
I'm excited about this one, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what people come up with.
