Taking a break before moving on to a bigger project , I thought of making something small and quick , and to practice my wire working skills , I decided to make something in wire . If you have seen my earlier post , you would have seen the copper connections that I had made for the Tribal Twist necklace . The flexibility of wire and the end result after bending and wrapping fascinated me . And so , to create I decided to make a pendant .
Using the large copper pod bead from my collection , I added color using a foil bead in aqua and a couple of lime green beads .
But after attaching the beads , I found that it was looking a bit too long for a pendant and so I decided to bead around the copper pod bead .
And then one thing lead to another , and the spirals followed.
Finally on completion , it turned out to be a beautiful charm that I am going to use to add a touch of decoration to a bag .
what do you think ? Does this make a nice handbag charm , enhancing the look of a bag ?
And do you also start off with something and end up making something entirely different , learning all way ?
Waiting to hear from you

a pretty decorstion, like you I like dangle on my bags, have made some on my embellishing machine, yours has reminded me it is time to make some more but will have to wait till my lodger Alfie (a cat) returns to his Mum following her holiday, can just se the fun he would have with my flet tops etc if I started now
ReplyDeleteVery true Margaret . Handbag charms are fun to make and add color and uniqueness too . I`m sure you must be having a lot of fun filled time with Alfie !
DeleteWow, this charm is amazing. Beautiful colours and yet it is not too glittery. I just loved it as soon as i saw it. And I haven't see spiral used in such a unique way anywhere else. Do you get your beads online?
ReplyDeleteThank you for appreciating my work . I got the copper beads from a friend in U S some years ago but had kept them away as was not sure at that time what I could create using them . But now thankfully they were perfect to use with copper wire and so this charm
Deletewow cool
