Del Mar Fair continued . . .

So it looks like I can only post a certain number of pictures per entry. This is part two of the previous post, read the first one first if you haven't done so already!!!This was, by far, the most incredible entry we saw in the Gem and Mineral jewelry portion. The picture can't quite caption the staggering color change this opal has, but it was so gorgeous I swear that I saw it from across the room!

Now for the strange entries . . . and there were quite a few of them. Most don't need explanation, maybe except this one. This collection was titled "Trench Art" and was made up of items made from "war trash". This is a letter opener with bullet for a handle.A years worth of collie fur picked up by a brush and collected by the owner.

A collection of teeth necklaces from Borneo. From the top, porpoise, pig and dog. I think the sign says it all. Is there an award for the creepiest entry? Because if there was, it would be a tight race between cat whiskers and this entry . . .This is a chain mail (like armour) bikini. What makes this super creepy is that I know the guy who makes these. He used to come into the store and only show the youngest girls photos of his weird metal bikinis. To seal the deal, he had a super crazy eye. So, there you go. A full day at the fair, complete with fried food, awesome gardens, cat whiskers and metal bikinis.
