Season 7: Episode 3
“The Metropolitan Museum of Art”
Challenge description:
This was a very exciting challenge! We were asked to browse around the infamous “Met” and find a piece of art that inspired us, and to then make our own personal interpretation of a classic piece from anywhere in their archives, it could be a past or present exhibit or something from their permanent collection. I found more than one! but I narrowed it down to this odd little find here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/experimetal/4333511984/in/set-72157623260017018/
It is Untitled and dated 1844 *see it here* and is of American or European descent, and is made of Coral. It was a gift from Mrs. Edna S. Crawford, 1945. Accession Number C.I.45.32.7a–c
This piece was inspired/interpreted by that odd little trinket with no name and no description. It was made of Coral and little pillow sachets I believe from what I could see from the photos. I made a sort of talisman charm necklace because I thought the objects were some form of protection because of the sachets.
Materials: Sterling Silver, Copper, Topaz and Coral.

*the long rectangle is Copperon the outside w a Sterling center panel with Sterling pins, the other 2 are oxidized Sterling Silver.
~these charms are slightly noisy as you move they will move and make sound. so if you plan to stalk mice, then maybe it isn't a wise choice to wear while hunting :)~
