I have ordered a few materials to start making a few different things such as a head dress. Even though I don't have a set in stone design, I have a rough idea of colours, materials, and textures that I want in my design.
I have a few different colour gems coming, which I plan to use as an embellishment to the body, head dress and also a potential neck piece I will be making.

The black and the brown gems are very much in relation to the theme of crows and death, but I have also chosen the gold and green colour to brighten it up a little, so it doesn't look too depressing. The green is also inspired by the paint that the Celts painted on to their bodies. I purchased these gems for £0.99 per colour (approx 600 pieces a bag) from this seller on Ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/hot-jewellery-for-you?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
I have also purchased this feather fringe for £7.50 (1 Metre) because I could use it in it's current state, or take it apart to have individual feathers. I really liked the colours of the feathers, as they are in keeping with my theme. I did also try to find similar feathers being sold individually, but they all looked quite tacky in comparison.
I'm not too sure what I will being using these faux suede cords for at the moment, but I feel that they could be a nice addition to anything that I do make. I purchased them for a low £2.50 per 5m, so I purchased 5m of the brown and black.
