I recently repurposed a pair of clip-on earrings into a necklace & took photos of the process to share... in addition to the earrings I bought a chain & jump rings at michaels remove the clip-on component using a pair of needle nose pliers sand down any raised or rough area that is exposed when the clip-on is removed for the long piece to connect the two earrings I used part of a pin back I cut off the pin & catch at either end then sanded down the edges so they were nice & smooth next I used e-6000 glue {be warned its stinky & toxic} to secure the pin back to the earrings after it was dry I used more glue to add the jump rings - a stretched out paper clip provided support while it dried finally I removed one link from the chain so I had two ends to attach to the jump rings & there you go...a necklace! **edit to add: soldering the pin back & jump rings onto the earrings would be a more secure way to construct this but I don't know how yet. if you use glue, double check you've used enough on the jump rings especially & just keep in mind when you wear it that it is more delicate than soldered type jewelry.

Over on Linda Ledbetters blog it's time for CC3C number 10 .....the assemblage clock. This month the challenge is sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique where you could be the lucky winner of a $25 shopping spree! Here's my 'pretty' entry...it was quite difficult to take a good photo of it, partly because of the glass, which I removed for the photo and partly because it is deep so it created a lot of shadow. I was looking forward to this challenge and had so many ideas buzzing around my head but I just couldn't decide. Should I do steampunk, gothic black, keep to my vintage tones, a rusty clock from the sea? In the end I just started and went with the flow....and it was none of the above. Don't ask me how I arrived at this shabby chic wedding theme....green and pink (moi?) with probably a bit more gilding than I would normally use, however once I got into it I had fun, even though it was quite fiddly doing some parts of it. Sorry but I didn't take any photos along the way as I wasn't sure where it was going to end up. Whilst we can't give any details away of how it's 'assembled', I'll just mention a few things I've used.... Tissue wrap given a painted crackle finish. A Wendy Vecchi embellishment on the top. Tim's wallflower paper stash as a background and to make the tattered floral flowers. Some extra stamping on the paper and I've used some WV translucent embossing paste on the background through the doily stencil. A few idea-ology pieces, a found relatives card and some bead gel around the rim. Lastly.....I must be getting old because they look so young! Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy your creativity!
