As many of you know I'm most well known on etsy for making my birdie clasps. I've historically made most of my clasps with headpins going through the bird to create the loop in back of the bird, but I've found that sometimes this doesn't show off the beautiful patterns best. So, I've been trying out a new method where I've embedded wire loops into the back of the birds.
Pros: Secure loops, I can easily glaze all sides of the bird, design is uninterrupted, bird has less wiggle room in the toggle
Cons: I lose the beautiful enhancement of beads/metal
Over all, I really like how the pieces are coming out. I plan on making them both ways. I'd love your opinions...
Here are some pictures.
