RAVEN

There's not that many challenges that I regularly participate in. This is due, purely, to time constraints. There are now three that I will endeavour to take part in as many challenges as I can though this year.
There is a new challenge blog on the block. One that is dedicated to the Master, E.A.Poe, called Quoth the Raven, Nevermore and the first challenge is to create something That shall bear the mark of 'The Raven' in whichever form or guise that pleases you.
Then there's the challenge over at Smudgy Antics to "Recycle".
Lastly, but by no means least, there's Haunted Design House where the challenge this week is Metal Mania".
This week I managed to combine all three together.
My little offering this week is a necklace with a presentation box.

I have had these little cameos in my stash since last year, itching to use them but never quite getting round to it. Never seeing quite the setting I wanted to attach it to. Until last week that is.
As well as attching the cameo, I also glued in some tiny deep red pearls into the dimples.

The recycling bit is that I used an old bracelet for the clasp and some of the beads from an old broken necklace.


This is modelled by my future DIL with the promise that her face shall not be seen devoid of makeup.














































Then there's the box.

Homemade box covered with paper from EchoPark. The edges inked over with black soot DI. A piece of lace at the "window" and one of the ravens from the "Quoth the Raven" stamp set from Smeared Ink. Stamped several times and layered up with pinflair glue then dipped in UTEE after a light dusting with purple, green and blue DI to highlight the black.
