This post is to say hi to everyone and to show the now finished OWOH pieces.
I finished the Blue Bird of Happiness necklace. I love him!
This is the picture in the OWOH post |
I am really happy with the beaded part, I used faux pearls and silver bead caps on each one, I wire wrapper each link in almost a rosary flare. On the right side I used 3 pink glass hearts and a little gold tone metal heart hanging from it. I thought if I used the gold in the crown and the little gold heart that it could be worn with either metal.
This is the finished necklace with additions and embellishments |
I added an iridescent blue acrylic paint to the blue bird to give a sheen to his feathers and then I added a blush of gold acrylic to the crown to pop that out.
To top that off I have a green crystal on the crown.
Here is the whole necklace |
The non tarnish silver is copper wire with a silver plate, the tinned copper wire is copper with a tinned plating.
This will go to the first person picked. Unless of course the wish to have the heart here.
I am thinking about making more birds, they love Madi and are around her all of the time. I am seeing them everywhere. She loves that they can fly and sing too, she says "Burd, Burd, tweet tweet, gamma"
It is the cutest thing,
This is the OWOH commemorative heart necklace. |
This is a pendent with all the colors of the earth and sky in the ribbons that make up the necklace hanger.
So those are my two pieces.

ReplyDeleteI love the reason you are doing the burds, burds. Grands are, for those of us who are with them everday a lovely trial of life. But with that slice of "heaven" comes some memories with which we are so extra blessed. It's a double edged sword, tired now, blessed always. The Olde Bagg, Linda from Casa de Cuckoo
