So, I haven't done a piece in progress post in a while. And now I have a piece in progress to share.
A friend of mine from back in MN was looking over one of my recent steampunk pieces and remarked that it was lovely. She then lamented that she has longed to see a steampunk necklace, pendant or brooch that has a skull and cross bones and wings. Her Steampunk costume persona is that of an airship pirate. I decided that day to order some brass embellishments and get after that idea.
I started with an old vintage rhinestone buckle. A lot of the rhinestones are missing but it still has a lot of shine to it. I then wired swarovski crystals around the oustide. I added the brass charms and am now about halfway through adding cogs and other watch parts to it. I haven't decided yet if it should be a pendant or a brooch. I also think it needs some additional wire work and perhaps some more beads....
