Le Chat Noir Necklace

   

I don't always make things from my 'Inspire me' posts 

but this postcard really made me want to create something.  

I love cats and I was desperately looking for a black cat clasp to finish this piece

but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. 

Then I found I had run out of jump rings, so being too impatient to order 

any new supplies I made possibly the laziest clasp ending to 

a necklace ever - looping over the actual beading wire 

at the end to serve as a loop for the clasp!

I wasn't really expecting to wear it much 

but actually I have worn this necklace many, many, times now.

It's become one of my favourites and 

I just hope the lazy 'clasp' holds out for a while!
