Title: bear claw necklace
Post by: saylean on June 10, 2009, 03:37:50 PM: Ok, so I am no expert...in fact, this is my first time trying to do something like this. Here is my first attempt at a bear claw necklace. Special thanks for the write ups on how to clean bear claws at the top of the bear forum. The claws are from the bear I got last sept (5 of the rear claws). I think its pretty cool.. ;) Not something I will wear everyday, but during the summer with the shirt off, why not. ;)

Post by: billythekidrock on June 11, 2009, 06:10:59 AM: I need to do something with mine. I have 4 sets of claws set aside for projects.

Post by: saylean on June 11, 2009, 09:33:47 AM: In retro spect, I think next time I will use three claws more in the center and closer together, instead of five spread out. I do like the way it is, but the two outter claws on either side tend to sit differently than the three in the center.

I got some looks yesterday in Fred Meyers/bellevue wearing it... :chuckle: :chuckle:
