You Give My Heart Wings 2

Description

I had been thinking I should wait to submit this, but I can't wait any more! I'm really excited about this piece!

I developed this for an intermediate class that I'll teach in January or February. I wanted something not cheesy for Valentine's Day, so I love the edge this has with the gun metal colored accents. There's quite a few interesting techniques. I knew I could make a heart with my french beading, and I knew I could do wings (remember my snitch from way back? [link] ). However, putting the heart and wings together in a neat, practical way was a challenge. Fortunately (?), I had a lot of insomnia around the time I was coming up with this concept, and one night, I invented a new french beading technique that would allow me to perfectly execute this necklace. Yay!

I'm really curious to hear everyone's opinion on this necklace, since it's so different from my normal work.

Materials: japanese seed beads, swarovski crystals, colored copper wire, gun metal skeleton key charm, gun metal charm and clasp
