Altered Key

For this swap challenge we were sent a key from a $1 bin from Michael's and asked to alter it.
I looked through my stash and decided to go with blues predominantly.
I used blue and white alcohol inks on my key, then started wrapping it with blue wire.  When I got past the shaft of the key I added blue e-beads (size8/0) and then finished off with some more wire wrapping.
I used several different kinds of fibers - textured, fun fur, and eyelash.  I added gold seashore themed charms to the ends of my fibers for a finishing touch which I felt went really well with the blues and greens of my fibers and the overall blue effects used on the key itself.
