A sneak peak behind the curtain of the 1960s "Man of Mystery" aesthetic, where your status was measured by the sheer weight of the gold plated hardware hanging around your neck. Our subject here looks like he’s either about to lead a transcendental meditation seminar or explain the benefits of a diversified portfolio in psychedelic rock posters. The Nehru jacket says "I am enlightened," while the collection of heavy pendants says "I have a permanent neck ache from the sheer burden of my own coolness." It’s the ultimate 1968 vibe: part Bond villain, part suburban swinger, and entirely too much corduroy.

Lord Byron on his Death Bed

Artist: Joseph Denis Odevaere (Belgian, 1775-1830)

Date: 1826

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Musea Brugge, Bruges, Belgium

Description

Lord Byron lies stretched out on his deathbed, his head wreathed in laurels. Beside the bed lies a lyre, its strings broken. On the pedestal of the bed are inscribed in medallions the titles of the various literary works of the poet and writer. At the headboard on the right, one notices a sword and part of a classical statue with “Liberty” in Greek on the pedestal.

The painting has a strong symbolic meaning. The famous English poet and writer Lord Byron was a volunteer in the Greek war of independence against the Turks. He died in Missolonghi in 1824. He is depicted here as a Greek hero, at the foot of the statue of Liberty. The lyre with broken strings symbolizes the poet who has been silenced by death.

For Byron's pose, the painter was inspired by The Death of Marat by Jacques Louis David.

Silhouette-cut my trefoil charms this evening. Took about 1.5 hours, total. The most time consuming bit is gluing four pieces of cardstock together with as meticulous an alignment as I can manage, by hand. Ended up with 12 acceptable ones. Two types of cardstock, so multiple thicknesses.

Ideally, these will be saturated with thin superglue to strengthen them, then painted silver. And then strung on a little string, with some beads.

Looks like this would be a relatively easy way to fabricate some fake coins / medallions / medals / shallow-relief whatevers.
