As for my last post and the galaxy idea, I ripped it. It was an interesting inspiration and perhaps I can revisit it someday, but I couldn't see a way to "fix" what I had done and felt much better starting over.

Navigating the Planets
I promised a followup to my last blogpost and here it is! What a difference a week and some inspiration can make! And I mentioned that my next piece would have me back in steampunk mode. Well, here it is, my latest creation I've called "Navigating the Planets".
This piece is kind of a steampunk style GPS for all your interplanetary travel needs! Tiny midnight blue hex beads provide lots of sparkle among the 8 genuine cuckoo clock gear "planets". Punctuating the planets are gorgeous vintage black iris nailhead trim beads. A center compass rose and spinning pointer allow the wearer to choose the next planet and set her course! A lush fringe with gears, locks and keys along with a twisted herringbone rope necklace completes the piece. I've created this for the Etsy Beadweavers December challenge "Out of this World".
