I really like the swirly silver bits around the big beads. It makes it look really elegant and sort of mystical. The colors on it are great. Nice work!

Wow, this genuinely looks like something from the pages of Sandman.

Wow! This is cool! I love that you made they key out of wire.

THIS IS SUPER COOL!

I love this so much! The Key has always been a point of great fascination for me, and Season of Mists is one of my favorite story lines in the Sandman series. So this is pretty perfect for me. I absolutely adore handmade jewelry too. The Key itself is just BRILLIANT - I imagine that this is what it looks like beneath the grime, wrought of celestial stuff. The beaded chain is a lovely contrast - I so very much dig the bead colors you choose and *love* the mix of metals used.

And the most hilarious bit here? This piece is so applicable to the writing I'm doing currently. Seriously, this week I've written about Hell, the intricaties of demon politics and the cultural importance of contracts within the lust demon Family. Getting this as my yuletart gift is like getting a medal/seal of approval from my muses. Talk about amazing. :D

Thak you so much for this piece. I look forward to wearing it!

This is so cool! It's got wonderful wire work and I love the deep earthy reds and golds in the color scheme.

Beautiful! I love the beading and the colour choices, it really evokes the feel of the Sandman series in the way it's so understated and yet very provocative.

And the key!! I have no idea how you crafted it, but I LOOOOOVE it!

What a beautiful bead choice. The colour scheme is great and I also love the key.

Dude! Love how you took this in a different direction. This is awesome! The wire-wrapped beads are just fantastic. I always thought that key would make an awesome piece of jewelry as I read the series.

Very cool! Very Sandman! I love the beads you chose and the copper wire, yum.

[briar_pipe]

Oooh, I really like the color choices and the way you twisted the key. The red wire mixed with silver works especially well, I think.
