It is all amazing and you are very very talented! I must say my favorite is the necklace with the dollar bill pendant. 

Thanks! It's one of my favorites too. 

It has a tragic story to go with it unfortunately because it longer exists.  In April 2007 my apartment at the time flooded because of this horrible storm, and the people my apartment owners hired to clean the carpets destroyed it.  Someone ripped the chain apart and stole the pendant with the dollar bills and left the remnants of the chain and pennies at the bottom of an industrial trash bag of my ruined belongings. The moron ran off with three dollar bills wrapped around newspaper glued into metal caps that were soldered together. I can remake it; its just the fact that something I designed and created was violated and destroyed by a GREEDY MORON, took advantage of someone who was hit by the misfortune of being flooded out makes me so mad that I can barely speak about it (though typing is no problem apparently  ). I don't know what they were thinking, that I would think that it was destroyed in the flood,  as if I wouldn't have known where it was, or recognized the fact that the chain was OBVIOUSLY ripped apart. Luckily, because I had just photographed it, it was separate from the rest of my work.

I talked to the apartment owners but i kept being bounced around from person to person.  And when i sent them a registered letter demanding repayment for it ( I can't remember the dollar amount), it was completely ignored.  Whats worse is that $3.02, thats what I called it, was the image on my postcard for my senior gallery exhibition that took place a few weeks later and it wasn't in the show.  URGH!

I have mixed feelings about remaking it because it just wouldn't be the same. I think I just need to chalk it up as "one of those things."
