I am from the southwest so I love using pieces that are indigenous to this area. I often use leather, bone, antler turquoise and other rustic items. But these things can look a bit tough or to "wild west" for me. I always like to add a bit of bling to my work so Connies Crystals are perfect.
In this piece, I started with an Elk antler and added some fine raw gemstones like carnelian and garnet.
I used some ribbon and some yarn made from a local alpaca farm
The Crystals add just enough bling to make it girly, but still lets everyone know your may have a six shooter in your garter!!!
Keep on Hopping!!
Gorgeous! Love the use of the Elk antler!
