Once again.... another Dual length owl necklace creation!

Following the previous dual length owl necklace in Oct 2011, Blackpatch once again designed and handcrafted another dual length silver owl necklace! Tapping on the same concept, Blackpatch experimented with another handmade pendant.

Some may think that since this is not the first "2-in-1" dual length owl necklace that Blackpatch created, it should be a breeeeeezzzzze. But nope... it never comes easy as each piece presents its own challenges. :) This time, Blackpatch created a pendant that is "lenghty". This brings several questions such as what is the optimal length? should the chain be attached to the rings or should they be allowed to run freely through the rings? etc etc....Trivial considerations, one may think.... but when it comes to handicraft, it's the trivial things that need consideration.

Unique handmade pendant - an adorable little silver owl 
with random wire "weavings" around

After some trial and error..... staring at it over the weeks.... (yes Patch has that habit of literally staring at the "raw crafts" for ideas), and surprisingly some application of Physics is useful in times like this .. Blackpatch finally got their latest dual length owl necklace ready!

The use of a unique black plastic accessory to enhance the look
 - Angular patterned on the front and flat on the back
(so pendant lies flat against the chest)

Still sticking to the basic colours of silver and black, Blackpatch wanted this chain to be yet another everyday wear. Not just ANY everyday wear, but one that is one-of-a-kind and totally handcrafted. This being the only piece made, it is assured to be the only piece out there. :)  

Check out the below on how the chain can be instantly transformed from a long chain to a short necklace.

Plushies!!

If you've not already noticed, Blackpatch has been experimenting something pretty new and different lately! Check out the shop and you may notice that Blackpatch has been adding some "colours" to the shop. =)

Well....Black has been soooo into plushies these days. The plushie puppy key chain, plushie kitty key chain and just today.... plushie kitty brooches! All totally handsewn! Amazing! 

In fact, Patch too is using one of their very own handcrafted plushie key chain. Simply adorable! Who ever says there is an age limit to having a cutesy accessory? No... there is never a limit to bringing out that fun loving side of you.  

These are all handsewn and handcrafted so they are all one and only. :) They not only can be used as key chain, it serves also as an adorable bag charm. Check out the below!

And if you have those bags that have the inner side zip pockets, these plushy key chains / bag charms comes in exceptionally handy. One clip can be used to attach onto the zipper, the other key ring can be used to hold your keys. So no more worries about losing your keys inside your bag anymore!
