Here is my first collage or assemblage necklace. All of the special elements are from B'Sue boutique. That octopus is in the rusty black patina that I sanded lightly with 0000 steel wool to bring out copper highlights. The large flat back pearls I colored with black acrylic paint, then an overcoat of copper Guilders Paste. Everything glued down tight with e6000.
I used some vintage garnet beads and a length of vintage brass chain from B'Sue etsy store. It was the perfect length for this; I surely did not want to waste any if it. I am so taken with brass in all of its forms now.
The Raku cabochons from Harry Wood's etsy store, oscarcrow, are still my go-to for focals. Here I used three in the lariat necklace. All of the rest of the components are from B'Sue except that green bead.
