Would it be wrong to call it "out of this world"?
I've seen so much galaxy print and so many Peter Pan collar-style necklaces around the internet lately that I couldn't resist the urge to combine the two. I usually prefer not to use leather when I can use faux leather instead, but I had a big bag of leather scraps that my dad had lying about that I wanted to use, so they don't go to waste. :)
