~Stardust: A David Bowie Tribute Blog Hop



I was inspired by this pic of Bowie for this blog hop. 
Recycled copper enameled with EXIT since he did, didn't he? 
All shiny bright in the sky now.
Here's how it came about:
I started with recycled copper flashing
 Cut it all wonky and pounded it. Washed it up after that.
 I counter enameled it in translucent blue.
 Made a stencil and torch enameled the front in black and white.
I then added my own chain of vintage glass beads and accents with strands of crystals cascading from reclaimed silver toned chain.
Hangs just above the belly button. Very chic.
