Thanks Nicola! I was my final 'show stopper' piece at uni a few years back now (when I had every piece of equipment available).
I used to go around all the local antique shops and buy old packaging, sheet music, Victorian gloves and little watch hands. There are also a few tiny buttons in there.
The piece is in segments (so that I could get it all in the barrel washer) so it will open out enough to put on (as each segment is slightly hinged), and there is a chain and clip at the back.
Its remarkably comfortable to wear! And I got a very good grade for it, so its a very nostalgic piece for me. Plus you don't really get to make ridiculously fun things to make after uni... they have to be things people would actually wear!
I have never worn it, and no one else has, its a huge piece and VERY noticeable, it would have to be worn to a big event not to look completely over the top... may be one day!

Well if I had made something that eye-poppingly gorgeous I'd wear it down the pub
at least once a week (but then I'm the shy type)
