Finally...

I'm back at my jeweler's bench, although I'm taking it easy on the hammering.  I don't want to aggravate my elbow!  A few months ago I posted a photo of a set of travel sized makeup brushes that I had covered in polymer clay.  Here's a new take on the clay covered makeup brush concept.  I'd had this mini  brush for some time and it seemed a shame to have it just rolling around in a drawer.  With its soft white fluffy bristles, I thought it would make a novel pendant and an interesting mixed media project.  An impressed design enhances the  polymer clay covered wood handle and a forged silver wire loop, embellished with a bronze metal clay disc on each side, serves as a decorative bail.  The pendant is suspended from 30" sterling silver chain with a toggle/clasp closure.  I'm very pleased with the zen-like quality of this finished piece.
