This fun and funky piece came about because I wanted to use some of the jewelry bits and pieces I'd been collecting. When I found a bag of metal clip candle holders, I got to thinking of what I could do to combine them. And I was curious to see if Glossy Accents could hold them all together. The result was this blingy bird!
The head is a washer with an earring attached for the eye. The beak is the earring back. The beads are glued to pieces of wire.
The body is the candle holder base. I cut off the clip (which half of became the tail) and bent down the "petals" of the holder. I attached a gold earring as the wing.
Curled wires with feather charms accent the tail. The legs are wire and the base is a wooden block covered with designer paper and distressed. And yes, Glossy Accents worked beautifully to hold this all together!!
This is my last submission as a Design Team member for The Cheerful Stamp Pad's biweekly Challenge. I've had a lot of fun playing with Vicki and the gals over there and hopefully can rejoin them sometime in the future!
