Description
This Key unlocks the mysteries of the stars!1.85" H x 1.30" W
Andromeda was the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia, king and queen of the kingdom Ethiopia.
Her mother Cassiopeia bragged that she was more beautiful than the nymph-daughters of the sea god.
To punish the Queen for her arrogance, Poseidon, brother to Zeus and God of the Sea, sent the sea monster Cetus to ravage the coast of Ethiopia including the kingdom of the vain Queen. The desperate King consulted the Oracle of Zeus, who announced that no respite would be found until the king sacrificed his virgin daughter Andromeda to the monster. She was chained naked to a rock on the coast of Jaffa.
Perseus found Andromeda and slew Cetus. He set her free and married her.
After her death, Andromeda was placed by Athena amongst the constellations in the northern sky near Perseus.
All Pieces are one of a kind and handmade.

Well you add a 1/4 cup of gears to 1 pd of key...lol
I just kinda get and idea for a theme and go with it and let the parts and pieces kind tell me who to use.
It's a lot of trial an error mostly.

Again I love the stones on the stem of the key, it makes me think of the constellation while the rose allows me to think about Andromeda's 'beauty'.

Thank you!!!
It takes a lot of love, labor & hand cramps!
I kinda plan an idea out, but I really just let the piece tell me what it wants next. Sounds weird i know but its better to let it flow than to force it.
I find my bits and bobbles and throw them together...lol

I have another great series theme (but i'm not telling!)
