Imagine Crafting Earrings In Less Than 20 Minutes
Using bar link chain makes for an attractive easy pair of earrings. The chain is nice without alot of extra. My daughter created these in less than 20 minutes wire wrapping beads to the end of each chain and connecting all three chain lengths to the ring of the earwire. It took less time than folding the laundry and more enjoyable to say the least.

Showcase your Bronze Art Clay Pendants and Charms with Antique Chains from OhioBeads.com
A very talented customer named Chris D. sent us pictures of her jewelry design highlighting her artistic use of bronze art clay. The textural characteristic of her trinkets, especially these disc earrings, is so unique. She gave us permission to showcase her pieces here on our blog and we're delighted she likes using our antique brass chains to mix and match with her Bronze Clay charms, beads and pendants.
I really like the organic feel of this piece and her craftmanship is top notch. Looking at others creativity is inspiring and in this case makes me want to give this medium a try.
Thanks a bunch Chris!!
Like what you see and your in the Cincy or Dayton Ohio area and need to know more about metal art clay?

A Vintage Look In Antique Brass
I've been working on this for some time now and finally finished this antique brass necklace!. Personally I love to mix different beads and textures, sizes and shapes to my jewelry pieces. Maybe because I like wearing a collection of small things that delight me. Good thing for chain, it helps people like me have a solid base to start with.
I have stuck to a color theme, but it is not tightly controlled.
The orginal plan was to make a lariat. Oh well that's the creative process for ya.
Here's a couple links to help you find some of these antique brass components quickly on the shopping pages.
