| On
either end is a bought clasp that was meant to
fit together... I then bent
18 gage wire (left overs from my Galadriel Crown)
to fit it together with the center piece. (in the
above scan I hadn't strung the wire through or
sewed the clasps on yet.)
The
center piece is... get this... a margarine
container lid I cut up in the shape of a diamond.
*lol* I poked holes in it and stuck the wire
through, then painted the entire thing with gold
spray paint.
Before
the paint dried, I scratched in the image of the
tree.
I
don't expect this to last forever.. the gold is
already flaking off... but I don't have time to
sculpty the clasp right now- which is what I
intend to do by Dragon Con.
Below
is the new clasp I'm in ther process of making...
