It came from a shop called Impossible Fossils, which specialises in steampunk resin beads. I had this one for ages before I had the vaguest idea what to do with it. In the end I decided to use it as the focal bead for a steampunk necklace.
The problem was that it wouldn't fit on a jump ring, and I didn't have any wire, so I used an antique bronze headpin and made a loop at the top. I hung a white glass pearl from the top to embellish the plain wire. On either side of the focal bead I hung charms made from silver and amber beads, pearls, and watch parts to create my first steampunk charm necklace.
