I have a few design ideas floating around in this old head of mine...pieces that I've wanted to create for a long time now but just haven't been able to find the right ''bits and pieces".
One piece I have in mind is a wearable Egyptian style collar. I say "wearable" because I'd like to actually be able to wear this one....rather than store it on a box like some of my other pieces. When I see some of the amazing collar pieces some people create I have to wonder how many people actually wear these pieces as they are always quite large and elaborate.
I've wanted to make a collar piece for so long so I figure with all the time and effort that is going to go into making this piece I'd like it be one that I can actually wear.
So here are a few of the components I recently ordered through a fantastic store on Etsy... aren't they great!
I especially love the scarabs which will of course be for my collar piece but I also can't wait to use the koi fish in an oriental/Asian inspired piece. I just need to collect a few more bits and pieces for that one.
Of course I have already used one of the sea horses in my winning Use the Muse piece, Treasures of the North Sea, but couldn't go past buying another of these as they are so damn cute!
