Wildflowers |
This piece we are calling Wildflowers. We used the jasper, purple Czech, small tan Czech, lampwork beads and toggle clasp that Genny sent. We added the copper spacers and the enameled copper pendant.
A close up of the pendant. One of the versions mom and I worked on this necklace didn't have a pendant - then last week, during our show, I re-worked the necklace and decided to add this pendant to the necklace. I think it finished off the piece nicely!
A better view of the beads we used - it was actually sunny day and it gives the beads a sparkle that I really like.
Another view of the necklace.
This is the second piece we created - what is great about this piece is that you can actually wear four different ways - which both mom and I love!!!
Tribal - Style 1 |

This is the second style for Tribal - we have the chain hanging as one piece instead of two.
Above is the third style for Tribal. It is just the chain with the pendant.
And finally the fourth version of Tribal.
Here is a close up view of the beads that Juls made.

So, that is it - mom and I had a blast with the components Genny sent us! Please take a moment to head on over to Genny's blog and check out what she created with the goodies we sent. In case you don't know what we sent her to play with - here you go:

Oh, wow!
ReplyDeleteI remember admiring your enamelled focals last year and I still do - the Wildflowers necklace looks just about perfect to me! The Tribal piece looks like a miracle of engineering to a non-metalworker.
Absolutely beautiful :)
Adore how you made the Tribal necklace so adaptable, really love it.
ReplyDeleteLovely - both are fabulous - it's a complete tie which one you should send me :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless! What a super job you both did with your soup! You truly are an imaginative and artistic team. I love the versatility of your second piece. The lampworked beads are spectacular. The colors in the first piece, Wildflower, has all my favorite colors. Your enamelled pendent gives just the right touch to top off this gorgeous necklace! Thanks for being my partner in my second Bead Soup Party!

ReplyDeleteOh My LAWD!!!! That Wildflower Pendant!!! You guys leave me breathless, you know that?!? What you turned your bead soup into is nothing short of delicious. A superb idea to turn the second necklace in a multi-wear piece, and you are sooooo right, the lamp work by Juls really does pull it all together!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my party post

ReplyDeleteLove your style. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth and Evie, You are right your wildflower pendant really finishes the first necklace perfectly. It would be much plainer without the pendant. WOW!! Tribal is a work of art. Being able to wear it four ways must have been difficult to design. It really makes the necklace so much more wearable. I adore the soup you sent your partner. The pair of you make the most wonderful components.
ReplyDeleteThe necklace with colorful chainmaille is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty designs and how fun to have a mother/daughter team!
ReplyDeleteNice!

ReplyDeleteWonderful pieces. I love them all. The first necklace is really gorgeous, great colour combination and design. And I love the little chainmaille "beads".
ReplyDeleteSO COOL that you made a necklace you could wear 4 different ways. I love that idea! Both necklaces are quite lovely.
ReplyDeleteI liked your second necklace best, in all 4 different versions
ReplyDeleteOh my what an awesome job you two did!!! I really REALLY like the Tribal necklace, not sure which version would be my favorite, I am leaning most towards the fourth one I think, but the whole concept of course is just brilliant, very well done!
ReplyDeleteEach of your pieces are incredible. Unique. I love the chainmaille! Great soup!
