EBW Team June 2015 Challenge "Game Of Thrones"

Edita Kricenaite, the winner of the April Challenge has chosen the theme for June:

"Game Of Thrones"

It seems the whole world is crazy about this TV serial. I think it is an inexhaustible source for imagination: from the fantasy world to dragons, zombies and other strange creatures, from the ancient environment with its castles to unique nature views, from royal costumes and dresses to the endless scenes of war. What (or who) inspires you the most about this film? Please show us in your jewelry and tell about it in your description.

Please don't post any photos from the series alongside your piece as it will constitute copyright infringement. Direct copying of any element is also not allowed.

Let the game of thrones begin in your home!!!

Note to team members: Please check the challenge rules to see what details must be in your listing.  The entry must be listed in your Etsy shop by June 5th.  Have fun creating!
