I took my inspiration from the page from The Complete Photo Guide to Jewelry Making that features a collection necklace.
This collection necklace made me think of quotes and phrases, and a certain phrase popped into my mind when I spotted the Jewelry Basics birds charm by Prima.
I love mixing chains, so to make the necklace, I used some of the big double chain and the smooth Trinkettes bracelet chain.
I added the big Trinkettes rhinestone bead on the smooth bracelet chain and I recycled a gun charm from an old necklace I had in my stash.

I'm scratching my head over this one, but don't shoot the songbird seems the closest.

I think it's "kill two birds with one stone".

Blackbird singing in the dead if night / Take these broken wings and learn to fly / All your life / You were only waiting for this moment to arise
