little cat pendant
made from 18 gauge sterling silver
Draw out the shape of a cat onto paper
this cat was pretty easy to draw as I had drawn a similar shape before and for some reason I can draw faster the second time, I added a little heart :)
stick your paper to your metal
start cutting with your jewelry hand saw and 1/0 saw blades
drill or punch out some holes for the eyes I use a swanstrom hole punch pliers ,one of my most used tools
peel of the paper and start polishing
If you do not have a machine you can always use steel wool for a satin finish or some fine sand paper
my mom wears her " floating " heart a lot that I made her so I did not add a jumpring
I carefully bend down the tail so there is only a tiny gap and just fed the chain through the tail so that the cat is " floating " as well, please check out my store at www.nicilaskin.etsy.com
