''Haunting''- A Handcrafted Halloween Necklace

For this swap you will make 1 dark vintage style necklace for 1 partner. This swap is for a somewhat elaborate and unique creation.

The theme is ''haunting'' so your necklace must be enchantingly or eerily evocative.

A ghostly figure, a graveyard or ruins shrouded in mist, a faded VIctorian photograph, a weathered angel tombstone, bats in the moonlight, something inspired by Poe or even a cloudy grey stone or glass cabochon are just a few examples.

The pendant can be made from whatever medium you like but must be sturdy and durable. You can make it from scratch using polymer clay etc, use a framed image or alter existing objects such as small dolls, jewellery findings, lockets or cabochon frames, small metal shrines etc.

Size wise the pendant should be around 2 or 3 inches including any dangly bits.

The necklace part can be made from a combination of beads and chain, different style chains, layers of chains, a mixture of different glass, stone, shell, or shaped beads, nuggets, baubles, rhinestones, charms, even up-cycled vintage necklaces. I'm sure you can think of other ways that look good. What I'm trying to say is DO NOT just hang a pendant on a ball chain or thong.

Please spend time and effort creating a necklace your partner will love to wear. You do not need to use expensive supplies but make it special. DO NOT use wooden or plastic kiddie-craft type beads.

Please check you partners profile for preferred necklace length and any dislikes.

I will angel if necessary but as this is a group swap there should be no need to worry.

Any questions please feel free to ask.
