The mirror crack'd from side to side...

What I'm wearing to Wicked Faire this weekend!

IMG_2668a

Decided to Steampunk (It should be a verb by now, right?) a poem called The Lady of Shalott for one of my costumes. As per usual, I started with jewelry and props will come later ;-)

IMG_2672b

Crackled glass shards, small glass cabs, copper wire, and silver plated copper wire.

IMG_2674a

I'm not sure that I really like these glass shards. The package was correct and they are not sharp, but they do make a crunching noise when I work with them that worries me. Very fragile materials. I might use the rest in personal pieces, but not for the Etsy store. Although if anyone has alternative products I'd be happy to hear :-)

IMG_2230a

Inspired by the book A Game of Thrones, by George R. R. Martin.

IMG_2234

Heavy black stone, wrapped in cold silver colored wire, hangs from a chain of white agate, zebra jasper, faceted black onyx, and sharply cut black glass beads.

IMG_2235a

This necklace is 24 inches long with a clasp, and the pendant adds 2 inches. All wire wrapping done by hand.


*I'm afraid I don't know what kind of stone the pendant is made of (yay for finding mysterious boxes in the back of my closet). I suspect it is either an onyx or an agate.
