When was the last time you checked out http://www.artbeads.com/? If you haven't recently, check it out now! I have created this asymmetrical necklace design using one of their new Bronze pendants. It carries the quote from FDR: " All happiness is the joy of Achievement"
I used some really gorgeous teal keishi pearls (BeckHuBeads), lampwork glass discs from Serena Thomas, a faceted Labradorite nugget flanked by Vintaj brass bead caps, and some blue stick pearls separated by small bronze glass seed beads. The brass flower toggle matches the color of the pendant perfectly and to add a bit more of this bronze color, I included a small textured brass round within the keishi pearls.

lorelei, i absolutely ADORE this necklace!! i love the whole design and i love love love birds! would you consider trading this necklace for my "love flies" necklace? my necklace has a gaea pendant, baroque, stick, and blister pearls in white and brown, and an actual antique key from my personal stash that i found in my old home, and the wire is sterling silver.
ReplyDeleteoh, and it has in it a peruvian opal too, and some dark jasper rounds.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I'd love to, I already have plans for this necklace. Sorry Sharon!!!
ReplyDeleteAny chance there is any other piece or pieces you'd trade for?
i would also trade for the ceramic toggle bracelet !! very nice!! i would value my necklace (to you) at about $45.oo. so if you would trade this bracelet and include an additional bead of your choice i would be more than happy!!
ReplyDeleteDEAL!! I'll email you!
ReplyDeletethank you, you're a doll!! i can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful necklace Lori! I love the pearls, and the pendant. I think I am gonna take a PMC class or buy a book and see what I come up with. Wonder if it would just be better to buy the already great stuff that's out there or attempt things myself. Not to confident in my abilities am I?

Enjoy the day!
