ICAP: Two Too To Tutu Necklace

The two necklace.  This piece is the easiest of the four necklaces, I think, because the design has been clearest in my mind since the beginning.  I love the swoops of the 2s, and want to use them to create this lovely set of drops.  So, first I spent a couple of days sawing out five number 2 shapes.  I swear, I was dreaming about the number 2 by the end of this.

After what seemed like endless sawing and filing, I started stamping the second verse.  I was terrified I'd reverse a letter and have to start all over, but I managed to stamp correctly.  (If you see a spelling error DON'T TELL ME.)  Then I went out in the 35 degree weather and pounded these on my driveway to add texture.  I was freezing by the end of it.  The texture doesn't look so great in these quickie photos for the blog, but it'll look good when I get out the photo cube and lights out for the final product shot.
