Progress on the chess set

I had been collecting a few things over the past several years that were made from living or once living objects.  Was not sure why and then I thought these things would make a great chess set.
 The set is cast in solid pewter and to get the black side black I soaked those pieces in ferric chloride for 40 minutes.  After drying all of the pieces were clear coated in enamel.

I am still looking for object(s) that will be used for the knights.

Below is the progress on it.





The Castle - made from jumbo garlic stems.


The Bishop - Made from lobster claws.


The King - Made from a turkey bone.



The Queen - Made from a milk weed pod and the life casting of a female.


Not shown here is the Pawn which is made from a life casting of my daughters finger.

Drama Queen

She's always causing a scene
Everywhere she goes
All the money she's spent
She's a little drama queen.

She likes older men
Took them for a ride
All the time trying to hide
What she really was inside.

It was always about her
Hating everything that took your attention
Living her lies
Causing nothing but tension.

She's always causing a scene
Everywhere she goes
All the money she's spent
She's a little drama queen.

Her history looks real bad
Like she wants to stick it to dad
She's moving on to other victims
Left so many in the dust
Feeling like they've been had.

Her troubles they compound
Like all the friends she's left
in a local lost and found
It's hard to imagine nothing but her
Self absorbed and a mean desire to stir.

She's always causing a scene
Everywhere she goes
All the money she's spent
She's a little drama queen.
