Skull necklace for Folksy Upcycle Competition

Here is the finished piece for the Folksy/Sue Ryder Upcycle Christmas competition. A skull necklace inspired by The Day of the Dead festival. I was going to make a more abstracted piece but as I worked on the different parts I kept seeing a face so I went with that idea. The work is going to be judged today by Wayne Hemingway, India Knight, Louise Roe and Antoni & Alison and five lucky winners will have their work showcased next year in the Sue Ryder shop in Camden Town, London. All the pieces submitted will be auctioned next week to raise money for Sue Ryder care. You can see the other entries here. If you are a Folksy member you can favourite the items you like, until Thursday 10th December the piece with the most favs will also win something. There will be updates about the judging and the auction on the Folksy blog.
