When Doors Meet Jewelry

For my final sketchbook challenge piece, I have decided on creating a necklace out of old brass keys, chain, and ribbon. It will be constructed in a staggered way so at the point of the necklace there will be one key, then that will turn into two keys, then three keys and so forth; like a reverse pyramid. The keys will be attached to the chain with a ribbon but every other key will have a different colored ribbon tied into a bow. I'm hoping to achieve a slight Alice in Wonderland feel with the bows and antique style of it. I decided on this idea because I wanted to do a fashion design type project, but due to time restraints I can't do as ambitious a project as a full on dress with accessories. By doing a necklace I can tie in the keys used in one of my sketches and mix it with the Alice in Wonderland theme. At the moment the keys are laid out and construction has begun. I'm hoping to have this project completed within the next day or two.
