Accessory help, please!

My room has a ceiling light operated by a light pull. The pull chain naturally hangs right down the middle of my room. So I want to put a nice bauble at the end of it. And not just any bauble, but one shaped like a bowler hat (or some other Jeevesian insignia). I've had no luck finding one online. I'm willing to have one custom-made, but it has to be able to withstand being repeatedly gripped and tugged.
Any suggestions?

you could try to make it out of fimo craft clay-- its pretty durable.

Doesn't monopoly have a bowler-hat piece? Or would that be too small?

you could get a lampwork one made of glass. I know a lot of lampworkers as I spend time on this website: http://www.beadbuddies.co.uk/forum/index.php

I'm sure if you asked one of them would take up the challenge

Super sculpey firm is quite sturdy, you can make the bowler hat thingummy from it.

What sort of size? What sort of material? *plotting*
And... www.etsy.com has got lots of people who custom make things like that. Make an alchemy request! :)

I bought a bottle of Broker's (I think it's Broker's) Gin that came with a plastic bowler hat on top of the bottle cap. The hat was about 1" X 1" X 1.5".

Do you like gin?
