I wrote about using bead caps in unconventional ways before (see link below). Here is the latest chandelier earrings tutorial from Ornamentea which again uses bead caps for earrings. It's a winner! Taking notes?

I love this idea! I sometimes get stuck making the same type/piece over and over in different materials or colors.. since finding your blog I have been thinking more outside the box of just putting together elements of a piece. Thanks so much for doing my a lot of hard research for me!!!!
ReplyDeleteToo many of us churn out the same old design look again and again. So changing tack can really up the design quotient!
ReplyDeletethats a nice one...but if your bead caps dont have holes in then...you can just flatten it (with a hammer and use it as focal pieces for your fabric jewelry...as in this http://jewelsofsayuri.blogspot.com/2011/08/celebrating-bonds-and-relationship-ties.html
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that extra tip! Yes, hammering bead caps just creates even more findings to use!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I've used caps before for chandeliers but I really like the airy, light look of these. Mine looked heavier and were very oriental ... matter of fact I think I called them "Siam Princess".
