Here is something a little different from me. I am still playing with wire, just trying to branch out a little bit. Oddly enough, the design for this bib necklace came to me while I was folding the laundry. I guess doing such a mundane task has the benefit of clearing the mind well enough to let some inspiration through. I've always loved the colour combination of copper and emerald. For me, this necklace feels romantic, yet classic. It is quite a formal piece, and did look quite out of place when I put it on with my t-shirt. I've also wrapped a stone in copper wire to create a pendant, and I created a cuff bracelet that has pearls set into it. These were just practice pieces and didn't turn out quite well enough to add to my shop, but, I definitely learned a lot from doing them. I'm still trying to find my style with this medium, and will have to play around quite a bit more to find it.

The emerald and copper look great together. It's very pretty and delicate looking.

ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how some of our ideas just jump on us out of nowhere? It's not always glamorous, but it works.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool design. It reminds me a little of Egyptian river boats. The crystals even have that Nile color. Nice work!
