Steam and Keys?
For reasons I cannot quite explain, I have always had a fascination with Steampunk accessories involving watch bits...and old keys.
Recently, my grandmother offered me a treasure trove of her own belongings as she is passing her legacy piece by piece to her grandchildren while she can.
I suppose it surprised her that, of all the shining splendors there, my choice was a handful of old tarnished keys.
My question, now, is...what can I do with these beauties? I wish to make something wearable that both speaks of my love for all things Steamy and acts, also, as a memento of my Grandma. I have thought of a charm-necklace, but the pieces are rather big and awfully heavy. Can some of your helpful folk point me to photo references for inspiration, or perhaps offer any insights?
Thank you!
