My friend Cindy Gimbrone sent me a Skully with a Heart bead to play with for Halloween. At first all I could figure out was that I wanted to use it as a pendant, rather than have it buried (ha ha!) inside a complicated design. So, I started by wiring it up as follows:
I used a plain black crimp bead on the bottom, and clipped the wire off close. I filed the wire end flush with the crimp, and then created a wrapped loop at the top, above the small silver bead.
Tomorrow I’ll show you the finished necklace!
Can’t wait he’s cute!!!!!
It’s hard to think scary when you see him, isn’t it?
I can’t wait to see what magic you work on our cute little pal, Skully Kid. I know it will be just perfect!
Heartz n Skullz 4ever!

awww -he’s cute!!
He is adorable! It will be great to see what you end up making with him. Maybe I’ve been in a cave, but I haven’t seen black crimp beads before. Where did you get them? They are cool!
Thanks Cindy! I got those crimps from Fire Mountain Gems. I use them a lot when I’m working with copper or brass…they don’t stick out like a sore thumb the way brighter gold ones do
