Or to get one at a craft show. To make one: get a ring base with a round flat piece upon which to glue a stone. Buy a flat cabochon onyx (which should not be much money), then glue it to the ring base with jeweler's glue (it dries clear and holds well.) You can buy some at Hobby Lobby or Michaels or Walmart, etc. I like 509, I think it is. I've had good success with that sticking to anything I need it to. I updated the page to pull any black onyx cabochon rings. Here's a link to ones on Etsy.com == at least one is black glass, not onyx. http://www.etsy.com/search/handmade?search_submit=&q=silver+black+onyx+cabochon+ring&view_type=gallery&ship_to=US&page=1 I don’t know where to buy one, but it would be fairly easy to make one.

Try googling for the wig -- look in Halloween stores. Good luck! That sounds like it will work perfectly — plus be in style for what they are showing in magazines now.

I found a fur jacket at a vintage clothing store that I am gonna use. Now I am on the hunt for a long red curly wig. Suggestions? Cool thanks.

Sometimes all you need to do is cut. If you can knit, any long yarn like this could be knitted to make a shawl/throw. (They even make real fur yarn, but it is expensive.)
