I heard the call

drwex  gets full credit for infecting me with this notion. He said "why not make cthulhu earrings, too..."



I'm not sure how many of you grok how much this cane will yield...



And this was after reducing the central mass by a lot. Sadly the original theory of wings was not to be. It would have required the whole to be unmanageable. At least I'll be able to make some medallion beads and whatnot.
ETA: The outlining and lighter bits in the black are glow in the dark. Some was also mixed into the eyes, but I don't know if it'll show up. Heehee!

I'm seeing buttons, tie tacks and cuff links!

Be sure to string a few as pendants! Everyone needs a matching set now and then. ;-)

Oh yeah- I got some of the thicker leather cord that will make for boy-pendants for sure. I so rarely hit on something that appeals to guys I hope that my instinct is right on this one.

Wings

You'd have to reduce it some to hit the right scale for these:

but maybe you could work them in somehow.

(There are butterfly, bird/angel, and dragonfly wings in larger sizes, but bats are underrepresented for some reason.)

I had planned on going bat- I mean, c'mon. Tradition. That's very cool. Thanks for the link

I am so very pleased! Sadly, there is no (classical) muse of warped jewelry, so I shall have to go as I am.

Oh, and I meant to say that if it glows in the dark you might see if you can borrow & rig a UV light of some kind in the art show that might help people see that...

K.I.S.S.

[mizarchivist]

possibly, but I like to limit myself to less baggage. Like lights. Right now I can still carry the whole thing in one go with no help.

Clearly I'm missing something. "Eyes"? All I see is a swirl of different colors. Is the image supposed to represent something sci-fi? (No offense meant to the creator...sometimes I just have to be thumped over the head before I see whatever everyone else sees.)

So, it's a Cthulhu head- the yellow thing are goat eyes. I used this image as my inspiration
