Hi Spirit. If you make some bracelets, post a picture so we can see them.

How to Get the Na'vi Look with AVATAR Movie Jewelry
AVATAR jewelry is made from natural materials, a palette of the colors seen on Pandora. The jewelry ranges from very simple to highly crafted ritual pieces. There are many different types of AVATAR movie jewelry, but here we will learn how to make Neytiri’s bracelets. Guest post by Rebecca S...

If you make a costume, I'd love to hear how it goes. If you have additional ideas, tell people about them in the comments - I think people will be interested in everyone's ideas for how to do things, or different ways of getting an effect.

How to Make Great Avatar Costumes
You can relatively easily make Avatar costumes for Jake Sully or Neytiri at home for a DVD party or Halloween (it's not as far off as you think). These simple instructions tell you the supplies you will need, how to make the pieces, and how to assemble the costumes. Guest post by Rebecca Scud...

Well, after IMAX 3D and 2D Blu-ray and DVD, IMAX rules. It is gorgeous in any format. But getting to stop the movie and watch scenes for as long as I want is a real plus for the home release.... Continue reading

Making Avatar Jewelry
I have written directions for making some of Neytiri's bracelets. They are not hard to make. They should be posted in the community sometime in the next week or so, I think. Eywa ngahu @_@ Continue reading

@Spirit: I think schools would be surprised at all the people who wanted to learn the language if they offered classes!
@Safire: I have trouble pronouncing the words correctly too! Since the DVD is out today!, I am hoping that listening to the dialog as often as I want will help me with pronunciation.
The learnnavi.org site has the most resources I have seen on how to pronounce Na'vi. They have links to all the places people have found where there are sound clips of spoken Na'vi. This page is a good start: http://wiki.learnnavi.org/index.php/Pronunciation_Guidance

How the Na'vi Language Was Developed for AVATAR
James Cameron planned the creation of AVATAR for more than a decade. As technology advanced, so did Cameron’s plans for the movie. He felt it was important for the Na’vi language in AVATAR to be a real language, rather than have the actors speak a few made up lines. He looked for a linguist wh...
Oh, and I did return my IMAX 3D glasses to the theater- the usher kept telling me I wouldn't be able to use them anywhere else. @_@

Will Your RealD AVATAR 3D Glasses Work At Home?
Did you keep your AVATAR 3D glasses after you left the movie theater? Many people saw AVATAR in 3D, in normal 3D or IMAX 3D. You get your special glasses when you give them your ticket, but you don’t always have to hand the glasses back. If you still have the RealD 3D glasses, will you be able...
The iZ3D H220Z1 monitor is a good choice for a first 3D monitor. A 22" monitor, it comes with a couple pairs of passive 3D glasses included, and I've seen it for as low as $300 online. User reviews on it are pretty favorable too.
I'll be interested to hear how your version of a 3D projection theater works out.

Do Na'vi Have Allergies?
It's spring, so there is pollen everywhere. (Achooo) Last night it rained, and the pollen count for the day is half as high as yesterday :D But it made me think about the plant life on Pandora - unless they have entirely different reproduction methods - the pollen count there... Continue reading

Avatar blew me away. It fascinates me on several levels. The movie, especially in IMAX, is gorgeous. The Na'vi people are larger than life - mythic - and their principles are worth emulating. They inspire me creatively to make costumes and artifacts that fit with Avatar. And I suddenly want... Continue reading
