I love the look of clusters, but I really wanted to use it in a way that fits with my freeform style, so the finished pieces would be obviously mine. I made each of the little headpins myself from 28 gauge fine silver - those pearls are tiny, and needed fine gauge wire. I wish I had tiny pearls in other colors and shapes, but it's surprisingly hard to find really, really small pearls. I do have some seriously tiny gemstone beads though, so I might make more of these with gemstone clusters.

    I love this. I love the background that you are shooting (the photograph) on. Is that scrapbook paper?

    it’s actually a sheet of copper – one of my favorite backgrounds to shoot on :)
