Hi there!  I just wanted to post this choker I recently finished.  I created it with a rock pendant, a rawhide neck strap, and a piece of solid copper which I hammered and curved. (And I actually am wearing a shirt here, so don’t even think that I’m not.) 😉

I wrapped the strap and pendant with copper wire to fasten them to the collar bone piece.

Cash and I like to look for cool rocks in Boulder Creek, and we found this one there.  I hammered the copper spiral and attached it to the rock with wire.

I made this hook-and-eye clasp, hammered and textured it, and fastened it to the rawhide strap.

I like how it looks a little wild, raw, and primitive–and I think it looks interesting and pretty with either jeans or dressy attire.  But then, I’m a little different.  What do you think?

This choker can be found in my shop at PocoLeonStudio.
