Wire Ear Cuffs

For quite sometime I wanted to try a wire ear cuff , its a unique design which still  I have't found in stores. I used 20 gauge wire to make this design. First made the ear cuff with Pink beads then to match it I made the earring.

The Pink rose was made from Mont Marte air dry clay and the bead was from a Patterned paper.

One earring can be used in 3 different ways.

Altered Treasure Chest

My hubby brought home this tin box after travelling in one of the local flights. The box looked the right size to hold small items, so I decided to change the tin box into a treasure chest.

Before

 First I stuck the pattern paper to the lid with Mod Podge decoupage glue....once it dried I applied couple of top coats. After it completely sealed and dried,  I painted it with varnish to give a glossy look. Same way I finished the inside and outside of the box.

Decorated the sides with pearls and ribbon and to the base I adhered 4 large beads. Added the clear crystal flower and the handmade small mulberry roses to the lid. I was looking for a center piece , that's when I found Lord Ganesha (considered patron of arts) pendant in my junk jewel collections, he gave a nice finishing touch and also added 2 more pendants with chain links.

At last I added the double loop bow which I made with the help of my index and middle finger....who needs a bow maker now.

Now my Treasure Chest is ready for my crafty treasures.
