Here is a feathery fun splash of colour! Everyone else is making earrings with these feathers, but the colours are so intense - I wanted to try making a necklace with them! The vivid aqua blue is an awesome foil for the copper chain and findings too.

• A. Put a leather crimp end on the end of each feather, fold flat to secure, trim any excess feather sticking out. A little glue to help secure it doesn't hurt. Do another the same, and hang both on a jumpring.
• B. Put a large leaf on the end of about 9 cm of the larger chain, and add a smaller leaf about 1.5 cm up, using a jumpring
• C. Hang the 6 mm and 4 mm bronze firepolish beads off the Nosy Posey connector, and then attach the other end to 4 cm of the larger link chain. Attach a small leaf to another short (3 cm) piece of the larger link chain, and attach the ends of both to a jumpring. 
• Take the very fine chain, and thread to the centre A, B, and C.
  
• D. Thread both ends up through the cone (though the wide end first, and out the narrow end).
• E. Then add the clasp. Because the chain is so fine - it is too small to add to the jumprings directly for attaching the clasp. Thread the jumpring through the end link, the head is large enough to not go through, and then make a wrapped loop around the jumpring for the clasp.
