Wool Hearts & Soldered Pendants

These little cuties came from the scraps of the wool crown I posted the other day. When I cut the peaks on the crown I had these pieces left over. So I cut them into hearts. My friend Jeanne told us this idea when she showed us how to do the crowns. Works out great!

I sewed on buttons, rhinestones, seed beads, pearls and seam binding ribbon to finish them off.

These soldered and resin pendants were done in the online class I took from Stephanie Lee.

These two I made part of the chain also. This was a great class and I highly recommend it if she offers it again. She showed us how to make the nest from wire and how to add the beads (eggs). Flooding the brass base was a challenge. It takes some practice and I need more! The patina hides some of the flaws and that helps.
The boy in this round pendant I mounted him up so he looks dimensional inside the resin.

I made nest earrings and the other nest I will make into a pendant with a dangle below. That is why the wire has been left long. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the whole thing in the beginning.
Two of these are not filled yet. The one with the four eyelets I might make into a bracelet.
These have German glass glitter, pearls and charms inside. There is also a few star beads in the wish one.

I really liked making the nests. It was not hard at all.
This butterfly necklace I gave to a friend. She loves butterflies.
This one was a gift to my niece for her birthday.
