Don’t lose your marbles!
keep them safe around your neck with this unique and lovely necklace.
Made from old marbles and scraps of leather, this necklace evokes peter pan even in the most grown up of grown ups.
Pink, red and yellow leather grasp green and yellow marbles and dangle asymmetrically from a wonderful tangle of leather strands that hold the necklace lovingly onto your neck.
Long Necktie skirt
Long gypsy skirt made entirely from vintage neck ties (and a lil’ bit of ric-rac).
The Skirt in this photo is one that I made for myself several years ago, so it is has been worn, and has proven very durable and comfortable, if you really like this design I can get as close to it as possible for you.

Necktie Dress (Halter style)
One of a kind dress, handmade from Vintage Neck and Bowties!
I made this dress for myself several years ago, so it is has been worn, and has proven very durable and comfortable, if you really like this design I can get as close to it as possible for you.
If you would like a dress similar to this one or in another size, please contact me directly sasha@tatterdamelion.com or purchase one of my custom necktie dresses from my etsy store http://www.etsy.com/shop/tatterdamelion.
I love making garments from neckties it is like a puzzle fitting them together so that they create an active composition that will flatter the figure.
I also really enjoy the idea of taking a masculine business world symbol and turning it into something that is fanciful and feminine.
Because I do not use a pattern, and all my materials are vintage neck ties, each item I make in this way is entirely unique…no two will ever come out exactly the same, and I love to explore new ways to put them together.
