A necklace....
My husband had saved a piece of old refrigerator coil. It was dirty, black/green and looked the worst for wear! After a little cleaning I hammered it into a arched pendant holder for a glass leaf and made a necklace.
This is where the glass leaf came from....
On one of my thrift store excursions, I found a lovely glass flower comprised of glass petals and leaves wired together. At a price of only $5.00, it needed to go home with me. The leaf was perfect for a pendant!
I love scavenging, don't you?
What a great find. That leaf is perfect for the hammered copper...love the silk. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patricia. I love the glass leaves and used them in a necklace that will be published in the next issue of Jewelry Affaire magazine.
