An ode to the romance of chains

I can't think of anything better than layers and layers of chain. I spent an afternoon listening to some old Joy Division and their song "Love will tear us apart" sounded to me like the perfect name for this piece. Being that it is soon Valentines Day and all, I thought I would get into the spirit of things as best as I could. I think I should follow up this piece with a pair of earrings to match called "Don't kill the messenger" with a fat little cupid and some dramatic chain that falls shoulder length.

We were in Seattle for the Gift Show market this weekend and found a few hot tidbits that will be a fun surprise for clients at our Prosser store. And I found the most wonderful collection of beads and vintage baubles....I can hardly wait to create and picture take and post for you.

I adore Seattle, but it was particularly cold and miserable this weekend, with an extra special side of rude. Poor mother got sick and I found a hair floating in the fresh soy foam of my coffee, but there were definately some much appreciated highlights.

A special note for this picture: it is sitting on a garden mushroom, created by my father the Junkman, out of some odd recycled findings.
