This week, I'm talking about 2 pins I've beaded together. One was from a Pinterest post, the other is one I put together myself.
The inspired piece was this one. The original pin was just a jpg online, no website or etsy shop or blog or anything that I can give credit too. The best I can find is a photobucket album, with only the one picture in it. So, to whomever first made this piece, I liked it enough to make my own version, and I wish I could credit you.
It's an interesting variation on a necklace, just paired pins joined with chains and beads. Something different to a necklace, but still dresses up an outfit. I've worn it as a sweater chain as well, attached to the two fronts of a cardigan. I like that how the drape of the chains can be adjusted by repositioning the pins, too. The little things, you know?
While I was picking up supplies for the above piece, I had to go to JoAnn's for a few pieces - the pins, really. I had all the chains and beads in my own stash. But I did need the pins with the loops for attachments, so off to the craft store I went. And of course, being a craft store trip, I found a few other goodies as well. I was especially excited to find this locket, with a bunny embossed on the front. It called out to be a pin!
So, using one of the other brooch pins from the package, I draped some silver chain and some linked pearl beads, and there you go: a simple little shawl pin - with a bunny!
