Miniature Ham Charm
I'm making this charm for a "Starfish & Coffee" bracelet I'm working on. It's a song by Prince and the chorus line goes like this: "Starfish & Coffee, maple syrup and jam, butterscotch clouds, a tangerine and a side order of HAM" LOL! I didn't think a "side order" (slice) of ham would be durable enough to take the punishment of being on a bracelet, so I opted to just make the entire ham. ;-) I have all the other components worked out and this was my last hurtle. Soon it will be ready for assembly.
Crafters notes -
After 3 tries at making a miniature ham, the third try was a success. Yay!
First ham: was too big, bone is in the center of ham instead of off to the side and the color is wrong.
Second ham: Color of meat is better but the color of the 'fat' is too translucent. Skin and ham texture are better.
Third ham: Fat color is perfect, but just a tad too much texture on the meat. This will do for now.
