Artsy Fartsy part 3!

Making things is sometimes a learning process. I learned a lot, today.

The Photos:

  1. The silhouettes I got were not reversable and they did not match the finings quite right


  2. I had to use two rings to get them to hang properly


  3. I really prefer not to mess with the loops of these finings as they are often super-breakable. It’s easier to mess with the rings, as they’re made for that nonsense


  4. The beginnings of the ‘wind chime’ earrings. The straight pieces from the necklace were wont to slide off the pins, much to my annoyance


  5. I went through much pain and anguish getting four matched lengths of tiny-guage chain. It is WAY easier to measure and cut than to try and pry those little bastards open



  6. When lined up in 'order’ they don’t look like wind chimes


  7. I must have lined them up like this a bajillion times


  8. When rigging larger pieces to a pin, make sure those pieces can’t slide off the other side


  9. And make sure they’re all facing the same way


  10. Getting the other side on was more trouble than you’d believe


And yes, the finished wind chime earrings make a semi-musical tinkle as they move. My dear recipient shall have music wherever she goes, wearing those.
