I've also been experimenting with different backings. I like the clay back with the embedded metal strip but I found that part to be so labor intensive.
This pin has a heavy wire that I embedded into the clay and seems to work rather well. The way I make my metal wire button shanks (see my Making Beautiful Buttons tutorial) gave me the idea on how to do make and embed these rings.
nice flowers :)
ReplyDeleteI would think the circles would offer more stability too. You could weave the scarf through the wire to get a more secure hold. Sometimes the lighter scarves can't hold the weight of a scarf pin. Your work is beautiful!
