vacuum tube necklace

I was able to complete a necklace... using a vacuum tube. I love vacuum tubes... they are just the coolest piece of old tech. This particular tube is only a bit over 5cm long - just about 2 inches... but I've got another BIGGER one that I can't wait to start.

 

Someone in BC has this piece in her collection - or will soon. I'm planning on making some more.

 

Anyway, I designed a "hardware" chain - using various bits of standard, modern hardware - but I think it works. It's kind of nice to make something that isn't clock/ watch related.
