There was even real bird feathers in the piece, and a sassy tassel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Lisa-W was quick out of the gate in the comments section of that post, to request that I show a more detail about how that purse charm was put together. So today, I&#8217;ll spend a bit of time discussing how I used the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/polymer-clay-tutorial-making-your-own-cord-end-findings-video\/7086\/\">wire cord ends<\/a> to make the unique looking feather tassel.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I Love This!!! It&#8217;s so unique, so interesting&#8230; I&#8217;m inspired by the purse charms and I wish the picture was even more closeup\/detailed. I would be delighted to see how it&#8217;s all put together. Cindy &#8211; you never cease to amaze me! Thanks for the inspiration &#8211; I think I&#8217;ll be working on some new beads today. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Lisa-W<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Instead of using the handmade wire cord ends as you might normally use them, I slipped the quill tips of 3 feathers into the end of one of them, and clamped it down. Just like you would do with regular cording or ribbon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This simple little feather charm is perfect for any bohemian styled jewelry that you may feel inspired to make. Unexpected and delightful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">If you think outside of the box, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll be able to come up with all sorts of things to use with your handmade wire cord ends. Share your ideas below. I&#8217;d love to hear what you come up with.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"background-color: #f2ecd8; width: 512px;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>**************************************************************************************************<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>** Win Some Polymer Clay Beads:<\/strong><\/span><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Handmade by Cindy Lietz.<br \/>\nFull details here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/win-polymer-clay-beads-giveaway-contest\/7677\/\">Giveaway Contest Is A Go<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <\/span><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>**************************************************************************************************<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/cindy-sig.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Cindy Lietz Signature\" width=\"114\" height=\"99\" align=\"right\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/polymer-clay-tutor.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Polymer Clay Tutor\" width=\"200\" height=\"26\" align=\"right\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m inspired by the purse charms&#8230; and would be delighted to see how it&#8217;s all put together.&#8221; ~Lisa-W<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[1929,1935,2676,1933,2704],"class_list":["post-7747","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bead-projects","tag-bohemian","tag-feathers","tag-jewelry-findings","tag-tassels","tag-wirework-and-polymer-clay"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7747"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7747\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
