Just a quick post today to show you something new I made with them.
I put together a long, swirly wirework necklace, hoping to make something that looked a bit shmancy. Something that wouldn't scream "paper clips!" the minute you saw it. Here's how it turned out:
(click on photo to see it bigger)I like the gold enamel beads in harmony with the wires. I think it looks rich and fun.
I plan to try this with some other beads, too - it's the kind of project that will become a completely different animal, just by changing the style of bead.
F'r instance, I might try it out with some of these, perhaps...
Hmm. Food for thought, food for thought.
By the way, the gal for whom I made this Frog Queen necklace knows who she is, right, Luanne?
Nobody tell her it's made of six paperclips and five beads, and cost less than 3 dollars! :)
Luanne, I saw it first- surrender the frogs to me! (with those cute ladybirds from the other day...)
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of St Patricks, good job froggies are green. Love the project!
Wow I never would have guessed the necklace and earrings were made of paper clips! Great work.
