Beyond October...

Here's my finished homework project from my art class. I'm kind of embarrassed how much glue went into this. I wanted to try a technique using soutache cord, but I didn't have time to order the cord. I only had Michaels available to me and they didn't quite have the supplies or stones I wanted. The blue stone is actually an upside down pendant :-D

I also wanted to wire wrap the branch, feet and beak, but that didn't work out either. As my friend says, life is all about Plan B :-D This really feels like a prototype. I would like to try it again and make a wearable pin.

This is super cute! I love your use of different beads to get the right shape/texture.

Thanks :-) This is what I had in mind--http://www.skullangel.com/soutache/12091-elegant-yellow-crystal-soutache-peacock-earrings-statement-dangle-ethnic-boho-chic-green-and-yellow-earrings.html

But sometimes you have to listen to what your materials are saying to you.
