Unlocking Creativity

is what I call this necklace that I made yesterday:


The chain and clasp are made from hand wrapped brass wire links. I aged the shiny wire by holding it over a flame until it darkened just a bit. The keyhole is an item I scavenged at a yard sale a long time ago - it already had the shabby white paint on it. I just knew I'd use it for something. I added the tiny brass key, and wrapped up some brass bells with amber colored glass beads. The whole thing softly tinkles when I walk.

SO Sweet!

I also made earrings from some brass buttons, wire and beads:

Toodles for now - it's Monday and I am SO tired!
