lucky charms

These are charms I made for a charm bracelet swap we're doing in my Paper Traders' group. There are 13 participants. I'll post the completed charm bracelet when I've put it all together. I wanted my charm to feel soft and textural while still using metals and wire. I started this piece with two brass washers from the hardware store. I cut out two very tiny images one of a bird, and one of an egg. I sandwiched them between the two washers and glued them with a heavy duty glue. I then coated the washers with glue and dipped each side into brass microbeads. (I was considering birdseed, but it was too large, this charm is about 5/8 of an inch) I dropped a dollop of diamond glaze into the center on each side to seal the image. I wrapped vintage tinsel around the perimeter of the charm, and used the tinsel to secure my jump ring. I think it looks rather soft and nest-like. I hope it holds up, I've never made jewelry before.
