Charms and symbols

[neadods]

I thought it would be fun to assemble some theme sets of stitch markers, and thus have been looking for charms at Fire Mountain Gems.

Alas, although there are hearts and butterflies and stars galore, we're lacking in some of the darker symbols. An utter lack of bottles, knives, and nooses has eliminated the mystery set.

So I tried to come up with Shakespearean charms. I can get the tragi/comedy masks, a skull, some crowns and a fairy, but keep coming up against the lack of knives or swords (not to mention the impossiblity of books, scrolls, or quills). What other symbols would fit Shakespeare? A ship for Tempest & Pericles? A horse for Richard III? (I'd really prefer something else for that.) A rose by any other name?

Suggestions appreciated. Links REALLY appreciated.

Ideas for Doctor Who charms really, really, REALLY appreciated.

A police box, of course. As well as a screwdriver (sonic would be nice).

A scarf. A piece of celery. A floppy hat. A car (jalopy). Stovepipe hat. Carrots. Spoons.

I would LOVE to have a police box charm, but does such a thing exist?

Sold out already. :( But wow - I wonder if sculpy would hold up to being a stitch marker.

Darn... but it *Does* look like she's got some flatter earring versions. I think it's going to depend on the fimo and the curing process. I've seen beads made out of the stuff that seemed pretty tough.
