Copper Basket Necklace
by Zoraida.
(Patchogue, New York USA)
I’ve always been fascinated by baskets, bottles, boxes, in fact, containers of all kinds. Miniature versions of any of these captivate me even more.
I’ve created a few pieces of jewelry over the past 2 years or so featuring baskets and lockets. This necklace started out of an old abandoned project. I had made the basket and put it aside.
While searching through my stash for ideas and inspiration, I found it again and made this necklace. By now, I’ve also discovered Gilder’s Paste and learned a bit about perfecting the hinge on the lid. So here is another, somewhat improved, basket necklace.

I love this piece. The basket is so cool and the fact that it works is even better. Glad that you did not totally abandon this completely.
Thanks Leigh:)

Thank you Leigh,
I would not be happy if that lid didn’t work. That was the most difficult part of the necklace! I never through away parts of abandoned projects. I have bits and pieces in containers all over the place.
Love it!

I love your great little basket necklace! I never throw anything away either because sooner or later those little bits and pieces always come in handy. And I’m addicted to Gilders Paste – it’s great stuff!
