Irish Penny Headpiece


Project Level-Intermediate to Advance
 Project List-
1.Irish Pennies
2.Copper Chain
3.Split Copper Rings 8mm

I started this piece after I finished drilling the coins for my coin bra. I made this drilling holes in my coins.previous blog on drilling coins@from blog from tribe-http://people.tribe.net/erikaschiquis/blog/e3548950-5725-4cbc-92d8-e6db989fc830
I connected them with the split rings. I had one chain that goes around my head and two chains at the top to make it sturdier. On the chains I added a few coins here and there to balance the look.
Here's a pic of me wearing it@
for tribe (since your only allowed one pic on the blog)

Dracula(Van Helsing)Costume Part 4

I finished the coat and the vest. I had them done for Halloween and will show a pic of all the items together. I used that see through thread for the gold trim. I'm glad this got done in time. My son was so very happy to see it done.
