Necklooses'.........Abound!

Does "neckloose" sound too much like neck noose? If it does then good..........why not invent your own word for something. I think everyone should have their own dialect.......and dictionary of words etc. that mean something to them. I mean we all mostly misunderstand ourselves, and others anyway, so why bother. Besides with art it's good not to be understood.......that way everything you do is open for interpretation, and meaningful in an individual way. I had this discussion over the weekend with friends.......it doesn't matter what the truth is........it's everyone's perception that counts.........Anyway, why do we have to wear jewelry in a conventional way, or call it by some universal label? Wear your necklooses' draped down your back.........you should look at least as good going as coming. Or scatter some pins, like a fabric dog and his bone in different spots.............dog on your shoulder, bone on your knee......but only if you are wearing pants. Here are some necklooses, as I call them to be worn in your own individual way!

My Great........Grandparents from Sweden who like to hang around.........
Looks like a watch and when people ask the time I just make up one...........

Same story.........looks like a relative, and when people ask..........it's always a different one....I personally like it's my cousin on my Mother's side once removed...........


This always gets me........it's true people are always trying to be politically correct........they ask if this a relative..........look closely.........I don't think so........I say in my mind............but then again I guess Americans are are a composite of many different cultures............



Perfect for some unknown reason......... a Victorian figure with a cartoon background.....

I call this an odd bit.......fabric and a bit of recycled whatever.........formerly known as jewelry........


This was a mistake........which of course is my fave piece................the best things come from unexpected places..........
Old ribbon befitting an old woman..........who came out of the shoe.....

Scatter pin.......where is her fan?
Yes, I do wear all the pieces I make.......try them out.....discovering if by chance that it get in the way of what I am doing, or catches on a doorknob.....ornamentation is the spice of life!
Never take yourself or anyone else too seriously...........
