This necklace is my 200th jewelry design posted on Deviant Art!

Woot. I can remember signing up almost 2 years ago, and wow has my life changed since then.

This necklace is dedicated to my friend Josh who supplies with me with vintage vacuum tubes from time to time. He is a restorer of old radios and transmitters and the like... and he has a whole storage shed full of vacuum tubes. Most of them are still in their boxes... and so I decided to use the packaging from one of them to decorate this necklace.

This thing took for freaking ever to build it feels like. :P

I dunno, the last few days I've been finding some more elaborate and larger designs as well small delicate things. Its always good to mix it up IMHO.

Ahg I am going to go fall over now and cuddle up with my little cat and we are going to sleep the sleep of kings and madmen.

Good day to you all!

Be well.

Neat!
I've got a friend that does that too, his recording studio is named after a model of amplifier tube.
He's a maniac for driving around in search of old hammond organs to strip-mine for parts.

That thing's pretty cool looking. Has a rather tribal look to it, despite the electric stuff and such, like it was made by some, mm, "post-historic" tribe - something like different native tribes, but after the world as we know it has died off. Like the more human type people in the far future in Time Machine.

Bah, enough of my blathing, 'tis just cool. :)

I had to +fave this because thinking of you and your cat sleeping the sleep of "kings and madmen" made me grin. Lovely design! I can't imagine how many hours went into this. Congratulations on your longer attention span than mine! :thumbsup:

this looks pretty cool. Has a nice kind of techo-tribal look to it.
