I swore I would never make this again but never say never because I finally got motivated to do the tutorial for this. It took about 40 hours of labor for this baby to be birthed. It ended up being 33 pages long with 96 high resolution pictures. This is similar to one I posted earlier but I've changed the shaft and simplified the construction just a tad-although it's still an advanced project. This one measures 2 1/4" long by 1 1/4" wide. It requires some patience to complete but the result will be a romantic pendant worthy of becoming an heirloom. You can see it in my Artfire shop
what a beautiful piece you've made! I guess I like it the most of all your keys :o)
ReplyDeleteI just bought this. It's beautiful. I can't wait to try it. Sheridan (AKA JoslinJewels)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI just saw this posted on Plaincraft - it should be getting 20's all around. Keep posting there as that is how I found your blog in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI am a very experience bead weaver and hardly work with wire at all. This is just as lovely as all your work and I am sorely tempted to buy the tutorial and see just how far I am from "advanced."
Thanks for the inspiration again.

Thanks, KJ. I've never seen anything get more than an 11 on Plaincraft. Those folks are tough. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat key is awesome! I can understand how much work went into it!
