Earlier I wrote – KT commissioned me to re-design a necklace she had. The re-designed necklace set is pictured here: Here are the earrings and bracelet: Here’s what I did after I took the necklace apart and re-arranged the [...] The other day I received a commission from KT to “please, please can you DO something with this necklace?” There were a couple of specific needs that needed to be met. 1) I really don’t like that big green glass bead… it throws the necklace off and it’s heavy. I nick named this one Blue Delight. A very fun necklace of fused dichroic glass, it has sterling silver and enameled copper wire with glass and silver bead accents. I hated to see this one go… I really like the combined colors in this – it’s a subtle palette mixing soft translucent white, with a muted green and hints of deep blue. A mixed media jewelery piece. Inspired by various Amer ican Indian designs. Using leather cord, plumbing parts, chain and metal. This necklace was made from some of the first semi-precious stones I ever bought at a Gem show. It’s one of my favorites for that reason. Well – the fact that it has purple beads doesn’t hurt either. I was at a convention the day I made this…talking to my friend Denneal and showing her various techniques. She really liked this simple and elegant design. Denneal pushed me to realize my dreams of starting the business and selling my own work after seeing several pieces I had made.

It still gets compliments any time I wear it. Just goes to show that good design in the cheapest materials can fool the eye nicely. I especially like the pseudo Indian feel which was inspired [...] A medley of spring green and pinks this necklace and earring set I’ve given the name Spring Song. |
