I found these staple like things on the street, a source of endless bounty if you look at it the right way. I don't know if red was the right choice of color, but today felt like it could a spicy one, so here it is.
Materials: found metal, silk and acrylic cords.

  1. looks really nice against the rustic blue tone of the floor planks. It looks ancient from a New England fishing town in the nineteenth century. Something a fisherman's wife could have worn to try to lure her missing husband back from the turbulant sea.

  2. It's great how you're using found objects--I'm impressed at your ability to make lovely art from something that someone else threw away. This particular necklace looks like Red Queen jewelry--I've always imagined the Red Queen the height of gothic elegance.

  3. I keep clicking back to this one . . . my inner Red Queen is fascinated with it.

  4. Thanks, those planks are my front porch, and I'm in the mountains, but what a romantic vision with the fisherman's wife! And a Red Queen! I like those images......
