Is THIS jewelry
On my body?
Technique flawed --
Materials shoddy!
Why, oh why did I begin?
This Ugly Necklace is a sin!

Something Fishy

Getting ready for our small town fish fry
I have no fancy necklace to wear
I'll get myself motivated and try
To put together a necklace, unique and rare.

So I grab the old tackle box
And take a look inside
I find a handmade fly from tail of fox
Well add it to the necklace I'll wear with pride

The fish stringer will be the fancy chain
It will hold glass bone fish I just fused
Let's add some worms and bugs, it won't be plain
Oh look I found a salamander to use

As I dig around for more fishing junk
I find plastic bobbers I'll use as beads
O here is some old rusty hooks with gunk
For a little color here is some seaweed

This necklace is looking really great
I'll be the best dressed up at dinner
A few more bugs I'll add it's not too late
For when it comes to judging, I could be the winner.


Clasp Assembly: Two fishing lures used as hook/eye
Dollar Value: $25.00

Adjusted Judges Score: 3 out of 7
