On to the Next Projects

Okay, on to the next stuff.  Probably the most done thing now is the altitude mask.  It's just a cheap, brown pleather thing I'm putting together, but I think it is a good addition to any air pirate's wardrobe.  so far, I have both cheek piece, with a strip in the middle and across the top, attached with brass brads that look a bit like rivets.

I need to cut a seam into both cheeks so I can make a dart to fit it to my face.  Then I need to put the bottom strap on it with the brads and add some breathing holes.  I have a device that will allow me to add the hole, but no brass holes (only silver, which won't work!).

I'd also like to make the circle "bone" pendant into a necklace.  I'd like to string it on a black double cord (via a brass or pewter loop).  It shouldn't be too hard to find the supplies for that; I'll probably try to find the cord already made into a necklace.

I'll have to swing by the bead store this weekend and see if they have jewelery making supplies.  I'll keep an eye our for ear cuffs as well, since I don't want to have to buy $50 worth of stuff, and then end up not using it.
