After creating this collar/necklace during senior thesis time,
I have decided to experiment a bit more with this concept of wire knit
accessories.... an idea of this sort of enchanted armour.

Materials include:
-28gg beading wire as knit base
-various shells, plastic and acrylic beads worked into base using
the same wire.
-needle felting into your work also adds a cool smokey touch

& here are a few photos I took of the original concept swatch
using three different light sources/directions.
night/outside/overhead light
indoor/backlight
indoor/top & side lighting I believe
