alas poor Yorrick.....

Ann Demeulemeester skull necklaces

I've always had a bit of a fascination with bones and skulls...lucky for me then that skulls are to be found everywhere at the moment. These two beauties were found at Assin on my recent trip to Melbourne. I'm thinking of adding a few jet beads onto the cotton tape just because I happen to like black jet beads.

Skulls don't appeal to everyone - and I'm fairly certain the woman sitting next to me on the plane home did not find them as beautiful as I did.....I wonder what she would have made of this jewelery exhibition by Julia deVille. I loved it, especially the silver rook skull and the jet skull fob. I can only imagine her face if I had turned up for the flight, wearing this brooch.....

The skulls are great! I am sure with your new dress the jet beads and the skulls are going to look good! Hope you are having a good weekend!

Hmmmmm!I do like skulls I must admit and I have a couple of amazing seagull ones that I found on the beach.However,I do find Julia's work a little eerie though-it sort of puts you out of your comfort zone and draws you in at the same time-Very clever and different.

I have just read the latest issue of "Dumbo feather pass it on" and there is a story on Julia. The website for Dumbo feather is http://www.dumbofeather.com. It is interesting to read her view points behind her work.

Go the skulls, i sell tonnes of products with skulls on them, sure they're a hit with boys who go for obvious skull fabrics, but girls of ALL ages love everything from the scary tattoo skull, dagger style pirate skulls to the Mexican Sugar Skull prints, in everything from black & blood red, to pink. My little princesses LOVE them. Happy skulls. Tally ho, love Posie

my mother has a strong bird phobia, so if you had worn something like that and sat next to my mum, she would have asked to be moved to a different seat I am sure.

Skulls with jet beads, that will look so glamourously gothic. The stuffed sparrow brooch isn't as glamourous but maybe if it had diamonds in its eyes.

I wonder if the woman next to you on the plane is scared of Clowns?!!
