What's In a Heart?
About this design:
I wanted to try the pendant thing, which, really didn't turn out bad. However, I struggled with the wire bails (can you tell what a rough job I did on these?) My fingers just sometimes don't want to work like they use it! lol If anybody has any suggestions, wonderful! I decided, to make my own jump rings, and clasp.
