The beads and the greenman are both from necklaces I made and wore a lot about 15-25 years ago. The original necklaces partially rotted and broke, so the remains have been sitting in a box waiting to be reborn. The silver chain, suede, wire, and cord ends are all new parts. And, for some reason, I suddenly wanted a long boob-crossing necklace. So here it is…

Thank you!
You’ve really made the most of your broken necklaces. There’s no way that
Green Man should be sitting in a box!

Nice remake! So much better than sitting in a box somewhere. It looks great!

@TheMistressT @Bunny1kenobi Thank you! When I counted back to figure out how long those had been out of commission, I was kind of shocked. There are more old necklace remains too, so now I am motivated to get the rest remade. Most of the cords/ ribbons/ wood beads/ etc had been through the ocean a few times, puked on by sick babies and then not so carefully washed, pulled on repeatedly by toddlers and cats, and more so a lot of my old favorite jewelry had fallen apart… and actually disintegrated in some cases… I am pretty happy to have the greenman out and wearable again!
