Using Up the Stash #10 - Roses and Sparrows
Pulled out my box of yellow beads - was in a yellow mood tonight. I picked out a couple glass beads with yellow roses (decals?) on them, and 4mm yellow quartz beads. Decided to make a rosary style chain with the yellow quartz and brass eye pins, then placing the yellow rose beads as a focal.
Yes, it's a terrible picture, but you can click it for a larger view.
I really need to set up my new light box
if I'm going to continue to take these at night!

As you can see I added some sparrow links into the mix. They're one sided stamped brass, so I put a right and a left together so it wouldn't matter if they turned over. Unfortunately I had to put a little lobster claw between them for a clasp because that's all I could find for now.
The lobster claw is definitely temporary - I don't have anything in the stash right now I like for a clasp. What I'd like is something that works as an integral part of the design. I'd love it if I could find a rose or maybe a little nest. As a last resort I'll settle for a toggle. If you would point me to a link with a clasp you think would work, I'd be ever so grateful!
Pretty soon, maybe tomorrow, I'll be posting about a giveaway I'm planning, so do come back!

Links for you, Ms. Dawno. Might have to copy and paste them. Hope these give you some ideas for your clasp! :D

Wow! how wonderful of you! I can't wait to get home and look at all of 'em!
OK, Rose - one of those finds, a shop called purpleviolets77 - you sent me to exactly the kind of thing I imagined - I got it in yellow to match the rest of the pendant and I ended up buying quite a few things from her!
Thank You,Thank You,Thank You!!!
YAY! How exciting! I can't wait to see your finished piece :)
Me too! :-)
