New Butterfly Necklace
Fly Away
I almost finished my two-sided butterfly necklace.
Here is side one:
And this is the other side of the same necklace:
The necklace can be worn on either side - all in black or in black and fire colors. Both sides have the same wire design, and both covered with protective layer of resin. the body of the butterfly is the same on both sides, with clear Swarovski crystals. The wings are symmetrical and attached to the body and to each other with sterling silver wire. The whole butterfly is about 5.5" wide.
The wire hinges are not glued in yet- I am still thinking how to make them better. I am pleased with the last two pares of wire hinges at the bottom wings, but all other groups seem too crowded... I am considering removing some of the loops so that the wire parts are more in agreement with the rest of the design.
Meanwhile, I sent pictures of this necklace to Fire Mountain Gems polymer clay and pearls contest. Wish me luck! If my necklace takes any place, the necklace will have to be sent to FMG, so I have to decide what to do with the wire connections by that time. Any thoughts?
See my previous posts for work-in-progress pictures of this necklace.
