Birds of a feather project

Good Morning everyone and i hope that you all

had a great weekend.  I taught 2 fun classes up at 

Scrap N Yap over the weekend and had to recoup a little

so now it's time to get up another project this month using a beautiful

 set of charms from Butterbee Scraps called Birds of a feather.

I have a few more projects to post this week but today

i wanted to share a pretty necklace i did using some of my

favorite inks from Tsukineko inks called (Staz On) 

Staz-on is a fantastic ink that comes in so many colors it is 

wonderful and you can color metals with it too

so i thought it would be fun to dab on some color on each of

the pieces to create a pretty water color type backround to

put my birdhouse on. The colors actually bled together

as i dabbed and it think it made it even prettier.

To make this project you are going to need these things

from the Butterbee shop: Birdhouse Charm set,

#678, #294, Bronze Chain, jump rings and bronze wire

or something to add the beads onto.

To start just dab on a little staz on ink wherever

you would like to on the pieces and let them dry.

Add a bead that you created at the bottom with your

jewelry tools and another bead on the metal that you

are going to color with a q-tip and staz on in pink.

Make 3 sets of the beads for each side by using one

of the clear beads then a ceramic bead and then a

clear bead as shown.  Attach them to each other with a jump

ring that you have put a bead on.  Add a piece of chain

to each of the ends of the necklace and then finish it

with a lobster claw and a jump ring to close it.

I really like the burnished colors in the metals and

it really sets off the colors in the ceramic beads that

i used for it.  Have fun and hope you will try

inking some of your pieces from Butterbee Scraps to

try something new with them and maybe create a few to give as 

gifts maybe for Mother's day this year. It's really easy and fun.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to watch
