Materials
Polymer clay ghost, stamped "Boo" charm, skull charm, spider lampwork bead, spiderweb round charm, various orange, black and purple beads from my stash, copper wire for bail, black seed beads for separators, ceramic beads for end of bail, leather cording, orange hemp cord, foldover brass ends, spring ring clasp.
What was your inspiration?
I made the polymer clay ghost and the stamped Boo charm about two weeks ago, and I needed to finish this before Halloween! I also like the spider charm - puffy clear sticker on blank, covered with Dimensional Magic.
What are you most proud of?
That I stopped what I was doing and finished a necklace for myself. I rarely do that! I was also glad that I found a scary skull charm - so many of them are too cutesy for what I wanted. I also like how the effect of the cris-crossed orange hemp around the leather. The leather alone was just too plain.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Do something for yourself every once in a while!
