I have tried a few variations of images to combine for the magic necklaces. And the possibilities are simply endless, but here are a few.
Bird and Cage
Cyclist and pennyfarthing
Dandylion and diagrettes
Tea pot and cup
Animals
Boy and his stick horse
Fish/butterfly and net
As Metcalf refers to in his essay On The Nature of Jewellery, it's limitations and boundaries can be a useful guideline, as opposed to a constriction. This too can apply in the subject matter, i think, because it becomes overwhelming to consider the world of existing objects or imagery. To help with this, better defining my area of "folklore" and "nostalgia" will happily limit my spectrum of images.
Perhaps, even then, it might be best to focus on personal or European folklore, for example. I hope to feel it over time.
