Item of the Day

I have chosen a quirky necklace for today's item...I call him "Jolly Rodger".


You know, sometimes I can't help myself. I do love skulls. I don't know what that says about me, and I know my oldest son finds it strange, but there you are. I also totally adore Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, so that may explain the skull and crossbones here.

Anyway, this is a wonderfully detailed brass stamping that has been given a copper finish. I drilled its bones (carefully!) and added a copper plated chain. Jolly Rodger only got a single pearl from the booty of the last galleon taken - perhaps that why he doesn't really look that jolly...

That is cool indeed - and a yay for Captain Jack Sparrow! ;-)
