A baroque outfit in the making or the art of recycling

This is it, no time for remorse or new ideas, this is my outfit finally completed for Sarabande.

Oh, may I ask where you source your "chain?"

(I'm going to Asylum in Lincoln later this year - I need to get cracking on my dress!)

[enlyyl]

I've run out of this chain so I am not sure anymore... I normally shop at Fire Mountain Gems or Ebay. I think this one was from ebay, I normally search under "antique silver" or antiqued to narrow the results.
Sorry, I wish I could help more!

I will probably see at the Asylum :)

Absolutely stunning!!

Thank you very much! I can't wait to try it on now! :D

(I know, I'm not a member of this community, I don't even use my lj account, I just lurk the pages to see the pretty stuff but I really had to ask this)

Where did you get those three keys? I used to have the exact same key, I got them from someone, but I lost it and I'd really like to make a new necklace out of it...

Gorgeous dress though! I'm very un-creative with what I make, I usually copy other peoples stuff :P

Thank you very much!
I bought one key on ebay US as part of a job lot a while ago and made a mould to make more. The one you see are just made of resin... ^-^'
Hope this help :)

[therococomuffin]

You're welcome! It's really pretty, so :)
You're lucky to go to Sarabande, too. I'd never be able to go there, I live in the Netherlands and I can't afford to go to Belgium for one evening ;__;

Hmm... Sounds like I'll be spending my days ebaying 'key' :P

[enlyyl]

Awww... Never say never, things change :)

You can also type "skeleton key" to narrow the search ^-^'

Oh gosh, I really had no time to make a proper one so I cut out two half moon shapes out of thick bubble wrap, stuffed them with white chips, passed a string through and tied it round my waist!
