For the Birds Mixed Media Necklace

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Casual, Romantic, Traditional, Whimsical


Materials

Gunmetal wire pendant, Bird button, Lime Ribbon, Swarovski crystal bead, Copper Splash, Fleur-de-lis button, Watch gear, Lime green silk cord, cord ends, lobster claw clasp, E6000 glue.

What was your inspiration?

The bird button was the starting inspiration.

What are you most proud of?

I like the balance of the piece, and how the lime green cord and ribbon make the piece pop.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be careful with the glue, make sure that you protect your surface. Occassionally I reinforce the glued item underneath after the initial layer has dried for added security. A glue tube with a needle tip helps to get into the small spaces.
