I'm officially obsessed with making these now and am taking suggestions for more themes!

I haven’t been posting for a while due to mental illness and bad weather (extreme heat and lack of rain), but it’s slowly getting cooler and I’ve been doing better so I should start to be active again <3

Historically-Inspired Witch’s Chatelaine or A Fancy Keychain

In case you didn’t realize, I like a bit of Goth year round.  The châtelaine is such a contextualizing piece of history; carried by women and women only.  Keepers of locked doors and sanctums to which only they had the power to grant and deny access to others.  I’m sure you can make the connection between the serpent, knowledge, power and women, so I won’t waste your time by spelling it out.  

What a whirlwind of a project.  I wasn’t sure, from the moment I thought it up, if I had the technical skills to execute such a piece.  It needed to be fantastical- check, but also functional; it needed to latch onto my belt, it needed to bear weight, it needed to withstand some amount of pressure, and it needed to have some way to connect all the moving parts to the main piece while not becoming an overly-heavy object.  I’m no engineer or can even remotely think like one.  The only way I can plan is to simply start. I am one of those people that lives by “I learn by doing.”  And the only way for me to know when something was working was if it didn’t break… and if it did break, well, it was an opportunity to learn what went wrong and how to fix it. Without making it sound like a perfect triumph, I’ll confess it is still a rather delicate object.  I would not trust myself to wear it as a prop without taking it off before moving an inch.

Despite all the doing, the crafting portion wasn’t the only thing I was forced to navigate.

I wanted to get this project done a long time ago… for the reveal of the historically inspired witch gown (I think that’s obvious).  And I could make excuses and apologies, but the truth is, I didn’t feel like fighting against strict time constraints, unexpected events, health concerns and increasingly old technology.  The less I worried about inevitabilities, the smoother and more rewarding the journey became.  Especially because there were certainly a number of mishaps that I needed to use some problem solving skills––as in lots of super glue (most of the time).

Without further ado- Let’s Craft.
