Copper Skull Necklace

 I love Halloween!  So I convinced my jewelry teacher to have a Halloween type jewelry class this month. And boy did she have a "spooktacular" one for us.  This skull pendant is made of copper, an acrylic skull, and handmade rivets. I loved making this piece with the sawing of the copper, texturizing, and making the rivets (although it took me a long while to make the rivets and had to tag team with the teacher).  I know I complained somewhat about using the jewelers saw and broke the blade 3 times (sorry!), but I do like experiencing and learning new techniques. The look of the skull crashing out of the copper adds to this "spooky" theme. This one of my favorite pieces!  Thanks Colleen for another awesome class. Happy Halloween everyone!
