Nest Feathers and Twine

I am so excited about this necklace. Just last month I bought the shell heart locket in Kimmswick. I knew I wanted to put some sort of collage on the inside, but did not know what the theme should be. The other night while playing in my studio I just knew. Weird how that happens. My muse must have whispered in my ear! The outside of the heart says ' These things she holds dear to her heart.....' The first few inches of beads leading from the heart on either side and the buttons are antique that I have picked up from estate and garage sales. The old key says 'No key required" The clasp is also antique.
