It was a pleasure to take part in the
New Zealand Handmade Christmas Ornament Swap for the 2nd year and hopefully my ornament and card has made it to my swap partner,
Jo :)
Thought I'd show you how it came together..
|
I formed the base using a silver foil bead and wire and selected some Christmassy charms - going for the icy type look so used white and aqua beads! |
|
I hammered and textured the loops for extra strength (and because I just plain like hammering!!) |
|
wire-wrapped beads and added to the main loop |
|
it didn't feel quite finished, so... |
|
An aqua foil coil bead was added! |
And because I couldn't help myself, I made a mini ornament to go in the card...
