here are my latest renditions of wearable tie art. i’ve created three different necklaces: one is a collar, one is a choker, and one is a mini tie of sorts that can be worn two ways. the collar behaves much like a shirt collar except it’s far more fashionable and fun to wear. two vintage neckties are used here, one of them folded down over the other. the top tie is a pink and blue paisley with a light brown background while the bottom tie is a gunmetal silver with a stitched pattern on it. 
the stitch work that holds them together is an heirloom stitch that i like to call the chicken foot stitch, due to it’s shape. on one side the thread shows as a sparkly blue and, on the other side it’s a silky burgundy. a shiny, silver snap holds this collar firmly in place. the choker is made of one vintage necktie and is held together by a shiny silver snap. 
the pattern on the tie is a blue background with beige and cream outlining repeating circles. the chain holding the key is a scrap that i got from a key chain that was on it’s way to the dump…the key is an authentic antique called a “Saturn” or “Flying Saucer” design that came from England 30 years ago and is estimated to be from the 18th, 19th, or 20th Century. all i know is that it’s a really fun shape and kinda rusty…the third necklace wears a bit like an unaltered tie would, except that it snaps together in the front.
it is made from one shiny silver vintage tie and the pattern is of diagonal stripes of different colors and patterns. it can be snapped in two places, thus changing the look. i enjoy each one for different reasons and the only drawback is that i can’t wear them all at once!
these one’s are for me but i’ll be offering them to you very soon!
