bunny necklace.....done

well, as i said in my post earlier today....it was so hard to go down in my studio and stay put.

the weather was gorgeous,  the birds were all singing, and  the trees are blooming even more than last night



last night there were just 2 blooms open on this purple flowering plum...today it was in full bloom. 

it was a perfect day to blow bubbles



these truly are amazing bubbles....i swear you could blow a zillion and a half at a time.  it is so relaxing to blow them and then watch them float.

 after finding every excuse under the sun to stay upstairs and enjoy the beautiful weather, i finally made it downstairs to my studio. 




for the bunny necklace, i  originally started wiring the beads using this expensive and hard to find tool.....the vintage bird cage perch



and decided i did not like the look, so i switched to this tool....a pencil



like the smaller loops better.



both sides done and ready to make the clasp.




and the clasp....



while i was busy with the wire, i waited for a coat of this to dry



on the backsides of these



now to play and figure out how to attach the bunny to the necklace



and ta-daaaaaa....the first one is complete.  one more to assemble.....tomorrow.






i even made 2 more vintage door knob photo holders



and all of that wire work left my already chippy nails looking a bit haggard



i made my nails shiny and new.  not nearly as pretty of a color as what it looked like in the bottle, but that is okay because by this time tomorrow i will need another redo.


hope you had a beautiful day.

smooches to you.

sheesh am i having a hard time staying down in my studio.  the weather is beautiful, and this girl is loves hearing the birds chirp and sing.....something i can not do in the basement. 

my dream house has my studio on the third floor with a balcony and french doors and lots of large windows. 



i thought i would play a bit-o-show-n-tell....makes for a good excuse to stay upstairs for awhile anyway!





i first saw this on etsy one day while cruising for inspiration.

finally a use for the couple of vintage door knobs i had picked up years ago on the cheap at an estate sale.



i made it a bit on the tall side,  the other one will be a bit shorter.


ok....i can not put this off any longer....i am heading down to the studio.
