sneak preview..



i've had this bell flower necklace sitting in pieces in my "to do" box for months-- waiting, and waiting-- patiently-- and finally not so patiently-- for me to steal some time to put this altogether.. i love making this chain--although it's a task... i use it frequently because of it's lightness -- and it reminds me of the long legs of mosquito hawks ( crane flies) or daddy long legs... i know i know--insects!...but they have their peculiar beauty...  i decided to give this a deep gun metal patina-- a more moody and poetic group of flowers for the autumn and winter season..
so... here are a few photos from different angles... i really enjoyed photographing this necklace--it cooperated nicely with me--- happy to be finally finished.  this will be listed soon in my etsy shop-- with some other new pieces to follow...

  5. - there's always a sense of relief when a piece is finished and people are kind enough to respond and leave a comment-- it helps me to know that i'm not working in a void-- and there's a connection being made-- thanks so much for that-- i appreciate it!

  6. an excellent piece, what a labor of love! I can see this piece with your colorful enameled flowers as well for a totally different look. What else do you have on that bench waiting to be finished?
