Silver Stars
Ages ago (3 months according to the blog post) I had a play with some metal clay and made three stars. I love stars so they had to be the first of the cutters I used. Anyway for those 3 months they have sat in the metal clay box as I had no idea what to do with them. Last week I was asked to make some earrings for a friend, she wanted them to match a gunmetal coloured bracelet but with a bit of bling so I raided the silver/grey bead draw. Knocked up 4 pairs of earrings but while I was rooting round I found these crackly grey beads which I had originally bought for another set of earrings (I have made so many earrings for my mums friends!) but these had been a bit too big.
They were perfect for a necklace with the silver stars. Something simple but not plain or boring. I used some silver wire and looped and wrapped the ends to create links with the beads then joined them to the stars with some jump rings. I finished the necklace with a thin silver chain and clasp.
