I knew I wanted to include some of my wire-wrapped flowers I create with Czech glass leaf beads, but wasn't sure how I was going to incorporate them.
At first I thought I would create a necklace. |
Then I thought maybe I would create an ornate pendant. |
I liked the idea of the flowers being at the bottom, then I had the idea to create a brooch/fibula. Here is my free-form wire shape. |
Here, I have wired on the flowers, and started forming the pin. Skully is just sitting there for now. |
Unfortunately, I got a bit derailed last night and didn't finish. Will keep at it and show you my finished pin as soon as I can. In the meantime, go and see all the other Boo-tiful creations ;) I'll bet you see a few more of Jenny's skulls!
