All About That Bling

A friend of a friend wrote a *brilliant* filk of "All About That Bass" not too long ago - I LMAO'd.  Only bit I can remember was that it was all about dat bling, and something about stick jocks not being able to tell a t-tunic from Tudor hose.  Died. Laughing.  Also, I can't get that filk out of my head while making SCA jewelry this week, hehe.

Butanyway. 

I Came, I Saw, I Made My Own: 

Theirs:  Roman, chalcedony and glass,
2nd century
Christie's

Mine:  Angelite faceted donuts and glass seed beads

Theirs:  Viking Raven pendant, from
CraftyCelt.com

Mine: An amazeballs modern Raven pendant birthday
gift from my BFF, on a twisted wire hanger, attached
to a chain with silver spacers bent in half.  One is open, 

and forms the clasp that keeps the necklace closed. 

And then...

I'm working on a plaque belt.  Clockwise from top left: 

• I found these mounts at Joann Fabrics. Half off, even! 
• And I thought, hey, I have all this big chain...
• I got as far as wiring the chain onto the first of the mounts, and I thought...nah. 
• I think I'll bead in between instead.  That's a lot of beading. Oy. 

More soon.
