Inspired by my photograph: Sunset at the Cabin, I grabbed some pearl chips from my stash that were the perfect match.

I also wanted to add texture and accentuate this contrast by using sparkly crystals and pearls with the textured copper "bones." You can wear this project as a necklace or wrap bracelet!

Instructions
Step 1
Cut five 1" pieces of 14 g copper wire and hammer one end using the chasing hammer to thin out the metal at the end so it flairs out like a paddle.

Step 2
I like to add a twist to the wire - after hammering one end of the wire, rotate the wire 90 degrees and hammer the other wire end.

*Optional step - use a texture hammer once you've achieved the desired shape being careful not to change it too much by over-hammering.

Step 3
Using a Sharpie, mark where you want the holes to go and punch a hole in each paddle.

File any rough edges especially around the holes.

*Optional step - apply patina to the bones or use my "Cheater Patina" method to accentuate the texture.

Step 4:
Create the crystal links
Cut a 4" piece of 24 g wire (use the nylon jaw pliers to straighten your wire if needed) and create a messy wrapped loop at one end.

String onto the wire: 3 pearl chips, a round crystal, 3 pearl chips and make another messy wrapped loop at the other end. Make 4 links.
