The origin of this project was a cleaning-out binge. The center piece in this is a cast pewter belt buckle with the back projections sawed off. The buildings are made of sorted Picture Jasper cubes, and the mountains are of a plethora of mixed green beads including emeralds, coral, pressed beads, crystals, and bugles. The river is a layered mix of four different colored #11 beads. The very long silver and golden bugles are vintage Czech. The frame actually matches the central "cabochon", a soft pewter color.
I'm glad I didn't throw away that old broken belt buckle! This surprise project was completed and given to the recipient in late April, 08. Yes, he liked it! >>MPK
