Altered Charm Necklace
I recently completed an altered charm class instructed by Joni of Mrs. Oleary's Art and Arful Illusions Rubber Stamps. We worked our fingers to the bone from 9am to 9pm...but it was well worth the time and effort spent. The following pictures are of my completed necklace...my first attempt at this form of art.
We used dapping blocks and leather hammers, steel die cutters, drills, punches, metal shears, and most fun of all...torches!

Hi there...I found you thru Texas Blogging Gals and LOVE your blog. The necklace is gorgeous. And, I'm particularly drawn to your TAG post. I've joined a Swap and part of it is making a tag for our swap partner. I'm clueless so I'm going to study yours. Happy Spring...come by and see me sometime at my blog!
Ah wow this is totally awesome..
Well worth it. All that work paid off as this is not only unique it is stunning. I am sure you are wearing it with pride.
