A Point for Hanging
Our little surprise today is an ingenious method of hanging a pendant that can also be worn as a pin when removed. The device is so simple–a bead is threaded through a hole in the large domed bead, hanging securely against very much like a toggle closure. It is really no surprise that Carol Blackburn would come up with something of this kind. Interesting and inventive closures is one of her signatures as is her creative beads–she did write the book on it. (Do get yourself a copy of Making Polymer Clay Beads if you don’t have one already.)
On top of the book Carol is also an instructor for CraftArtEdu where she even has a class featuring this pin and pendant design. Get the class here to learn how to make this and take a moment to look at what else she has to offer on her website.
