“Rib Chestplate” Rebecca Ladds 2011. 

Sheet metal, sculpey, and found item (cameo-style pendant).

I’m so happy with the result for my first piece of jewelry! It is in two pieces, the front ribs hook into a piece that runs along the shoulders so you can easily put it on and take it off. (I know it’s not anatomically correct…I like to utilize my artistic license and ignore that). 

It’s actually so comfortable! Not too heavy which I was worried about. Now I just need an occasion to wear it! Critique tomorrow.
