thank you to everyone who left comments on my last post ~ you all got me so fired up to conquer this diy! i'm still not quite ready to call it complete, but here's what we've got so far:
thoughts?
speaking of works in progress, you may have noticed some changes creeping onto this page lately ~ to be its glammy, glittery best, i figure the blog needs regular makeovers as much as my closet
and i do! but renovation always creates unwanted debris, so if any of these alterations continue to limit your access to or enjoyment of this site, please let me know (as specifically as possible) and i'll do my best to fix it!

Looks great!
That came out pretty awesome. colors are nice esp the blue.
awesome idea. my first thought was that it looks like a bib. i think that's easily fixed & really who am i to comment on your glamour!
I love what you did!!! So fabulous!!!!
I love this!!!!
I attempted a DIY similar to this, but mine is not finished yet either, the shape isn't quite right and it needs to be more random, my OCD was working against me. Yours looks great! You can see mine here, if you are interested. Thanks for the inspiration

you hit it right on the dot!
so gorgeous! even i was wondering....what material is the bib?
Hey I love your blog.
This is looking great. I think you can allow the pins etc to 'overflow' a little outside the perimeter? That's gonna look like it'd explode into your face - wild. And it'll highly compliment your glam/rock look(just a thought)
Cheers

It's amazing and I can't wait to see you wear it!

Absolutely beautiful!
I want one.
oh my gosh. you're amazing! that is one gorgeous piece!
this is rad
Super fab! Awesome job!
Wow! So stoked to find your site only last week via Sea of Shoes. You are a Wonderful inspiration! Thank you for being bold in your style and opening the door for others to be that way too and also for your diy-ness - yours is a very exciting blog!!
absolutely beautiful. where on earth did you pick up all those creepy-crawlies? i've been looking for the perfect spider brooch for an age and there you are with several!
thanks for the encouragement everyone!!!
i'm already working on 2 more (another in black w/ a slimmer shape + a spring version), so when this is finished i'll use the others to post a tutorial. but first, some answers to your questions:
@ Cassiopeia & unicorn107: the bib is made of 2 layers of double satin, each one with fusible interfacing. i tried it first with lightweight canvas, but realized quickly that the weight of the baubles requires a full bodied fabric. it ties with grosgrain ribbon @ the back.
@ fash: i've been collecting bug jewelry for about 6 years now! i have quite a trove!!! most of them have come from ebay, the rest from antique stores.
let me know if you have any other questions, and i will address them in the upcoming tutorial.

BRILLIANT! Close enough to make it to the runway. I have the exact same firefly too! Oh, have I told you that you remind me of Anna Tsuchiya?
Love the direct link your daily wears - I don't remember that before.
I think your version is actually laid out better than the inspiriation.
Love your new page and Love your new project!
It's awesome! Thanks for sharing this!

ps. your blog rocks!
Love it! This is exactly what I had in mind.
Yummy!
You should try one where you leave the edges distressed (on the fabric base) sort of shredding around the edges. It would be a nice dichotomy against the glit of the rhinestones
fabulous necklace,
