Cool combination of jewelry and bust. I like the multiple layers of necklaces; it's definitely a more interesting arrangement than a stingle strand.

From time-to-time, I've considered doing something like this as well, although I've yet to give it a try. I bought one of those big Barbie doll toy heads that girls use to play at styling hair years ago; I suppose I could use that as a quick and easy way to display papier mache necklaces or earrings.

I thought i'd combine a few necklaces, as felt it may be a bit boring for people looking at one at a time - as i've nearly trawled through everyone's work on this site - but there is an awful lot to look at!
You should have a go, in between your intricate work, they're really easy and good for using the odd bits of papier mache up. I was pleased with the bust, and wanted to make some more for displaying, but the barbie head thing sounds funky - sure it would look great.
