I went to a flea market in Avon, N.Y. last summer, and found an intriguing metal trinket in a box of stuff for $.25. I'm a fan of FullMetal Alchemist, and this piece seemed like a combination of the Ouroboros Tattoo and dragon-version Envy. The "snout" looks like the point where it broke away from something, so I'm guessing it was a decorative flourish for a piece of furniture. The piece and chains are all antique-bronze color, and I wire-wrapped iridescent-red glass aquarium "pebbles" for the "Philosopher's Stones." Bronze-tone chains (Treasure Island) and small red beads are from Micheal's Craft Stores. http://www.michaels.com/art/online/home
