(Components list at bottom of page)
by: Dwyn Tomlinson
When I first saw this Silver bead - I just fell in love with it. It's a study in contrasts: smooth and sharp, curvy and straight, flat and oval - and reminded me of some exotic seed. I thought it was a strong enough design element to stand alone - all it needed was the right chain!
String the silver bead on a decorative headpin and add a spacer bead. Make a wrapped loop at the top, and REMEMBER TO ADD THE BAIL before closing and finishing the loop.
Put the bail on the SilverSilk Capture BEFORE adding the ends - you won't be able to get it on after. ;-)
These new caps are the perfect complement for the Silversilk Capture - just the right size and sleekness.
To attach the Silversilk Capture to the clasp, take about 8 inches of fairly thin wire, and thread it through the knitted wire, across the inside of the knitted wire tube, and out the other side. Then fold the wire in half, and thread on the cap. A dab of glue at the end to prevent the knitted wire from unraveling adds extra security.
Make a wrapped loop in the wire, after the cap - treat the two wires as one and just make a loop and wrap. Add jumprings and the clasp.
The matching earrings are a headpin, large bead cap, a smaller version of the silver bead, and a wrapped loop onto a fine chain. The chain is attached to earring studs.
