Wire-Wrapped Turkey Necklace

Whew, happy Monday!  I have to confess, I haven’t been doing a whole lot lately craft-wise.  Everything I’m been creating has been focused so much more on fictitious ventures. :)  23,144 words and counting, which means I’m so close to halfway to my 50,000 words on my novel for NaNoWriMo!  


But I have been playing with a few wire wrapped designs.  Some of it has actually been related to my writing group (I’ll show you when I’m done!) but I have a fun one to show off today:



It’s a silly turkey, but I sure had fun with this one!  All I used was 2 gauges of Vintaj brass wire, some Miyuki seed beads, and a pair of pliers.  It’s really fun creating from scratch. :)


What about you mamas?  Any good turkey-crafting going on?


I link to these fabulous parties!

    I LOVE your blog! I'm always looking for crafty things to do in the little free time I have. Being a wahm, blogger and having 3 young kids doesn't leave a ton of time for crafting, but I love to make things, especially for the kids! I'm following you via RSS feed. I'm hopping over from http://www.bargaingab.com if you want to come check it out!

    That is really pretty. I wasn't thinking turkey at first, but that makes it even more interesting. Love it!!

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
