Kylie says I Do!
Wedding Jewelry!! I have never been asked to do wedding jewelry before. But when Kylie Parry asked to make her a wedding necklace to go with her beautiful dress for her wedding in January, I jumped all over it. I love Kylie's work, respect her big time for her artistry, am completely flattered she asked me, and she's cute as a button so why wouldn't I!?
She had really liked this bracelet when it was in my shop, and we planned the design around this style, using glass beads, brass chain, and vintage lace. I contacted my friend Sab at BeadBead, and she came through like a trooper! I luckily picked out all the right colors, and when I put it together yesterday I added in a few freshwater pearls. The beads are all wire wrapped on handmade eggplant head pins from E2S Supplies.
I forgot to add a little signature owl tag, will have to do that before I ship it out.
Adding a bit of blue, as tradition warrants- a blue birds egg resin clasp from Amanda Davie. The egg signifies Kylie's "new life" that she'll be starting with her husband.
I have to be honest here, I got a little teary when I was thinking about Kylie as I wired wrapped all the little beads. Imagining her in her dress, joining her man in this special union... and imagined myself there- seeing it all happen. I am in no way, wishing I could be there, just solely because she is getting married on the beach in Jamaica. ;)
Luckily, she loves it! YESSSS!
Thank you Kylie for asking me to be a part of your awesome day. I wish you years and years of happiness in your marriage! xo

Really!? You don't do wedding jewelry? I think that you may have found a new niche. The first big project I ever did was a wedding for a friend (which was coincidentlly the first piece I ever had published in Bead Trends). I did all 8 bridesmaids different, because they are all different people, and the bride and three special friends. It was awesome. Wish I could do more of that. This is absolutely fabulous. I think you hit this one right out of the park.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day!
