The other day I was in an art store rummaging through to see if they had any new interesting beads and trinkets. As I started to get irritated at not finding anything, my eyes fell upon rows of small nail paint bottles. In a hundred hues…a million shades all at Rs.10 a bottle. I fell in love with the gaudy pinks and robust reds knowing very well that I would never(never!) sport them on my nails. Still I bought a couple (impulse buy…Sigh !!), came home, bent some thin wire into petal shapes and dipped them in the enamel….viola I made a couple of earrings and a floral Brooch
Pros : Inexpensive, Pretty, different – unique looking (looks like enamelware)
Cons: Needs a bit of patience to make, fragile and has shape and size constraints – you can make only petal shapes or triangular/conical shapes – max of 2 cm 🙁
Note :Have already worn them a couple of time and the best part is they don’t react to sweat or even limited contact with water.
Will see if I can overcome the size/ shape constraint somehow….. suggestions as always welcome…
Cheers
