I worked in my craft room last night. I got some
gorgeous beads from Dhea and her husband in the shape/style of candy corn. LOOOOOOVE! So, I'm designing a lanyard with them. Here's the general out line, so far (rough, yet):
I'm still working on how I want the beads to your left to string/hang. I
like the idea of a double row, but I'm still working on the logistics. You'll notice the two main beads at the point? Yeah, they're used, brass bullet casings. I shined them up then used Renaissance Wax on them to keep them from darkening due to wear and handling. This is still somewhat in the planning stages, tho', so I don't know that my first idea will stick. We'll see.
Then, because I had such fun with the mis-matched earring swap, and I really liked what I sent my partner, I made a similar pair with only a few changes:

(or, maybe, Updated Cupid! Oooohh!) |
A little heavier than I like, but still wearable. Awesome!
And, the idea:

love how Instagram makes it look like old parchment! |
Just a few thoughts on a focal bead for a necklace from one of my shell casings.
And, for those who miss my "Dead" Things photos, here's one for you:
