Deryn's challenge

Last week Deryn of Something Sublime posted a challenge on her blog - you can read it about it here. It was sparked by an inspiration room on Interior Alchemy. Head on over to Deryn's blog to see all the eye candy this inspired.

 
Well, I was inspired and wanted to play along, but I haven't finished my piece yet. Not quite... the necklace is still missing the closure. But I want to share my take on the inspirational challenge with you inspite of that.

Obviously, it was the mirror that sparked my take on this. I placed a distressed vintage piece of mirror behind a vintage belt buckle, layered a woman's image over it and finished it off with sari silk, lace, antique rosary beads, garnets and vintage glass nail head beads.

Thank you, Deryn, for the creative challenge - this was fun!
