2011 and I started to diversify ... Still I made lots and lots of necklaces but I ventured into the making of earrings and bracelets (see the following post).
I also felt more confident as I stepped into the world of Chain Mail with a Byzantine Weave (very humble though) Necklace.
One of the other reasons why I started making jewellery was because I wanted my earrings and necklaces to match. I have trouble not wearing clothes, shoes and jewellery that do not match, especially as I am a teacher. I think it is important to offer a tidy image to your students as you are their focal point (or so you think ...) for an hour or so!
2011 was the year when I discovered the importance of marketing the image of your creations. I bought my first necklace busts and I used Photofiltre to edit all my photos.
So here we go:
A Lariat Necklace made with Glass beads and Silver spacers. I have a soft spot for Lariats as they were the topic of my first ever tutorial on Jewelrylessons.com (recycled).
For this piece, I used the elements of an old metal belt and bits from here and there, plus a few Turquoise drop beads (recycled)
Pearls and Unakite Necklace Custom order (sold). I love Unakite but it is a stone I find difficult to associate with ... but pearls. Pearls are definitely timeless!
Turquoise tubes and Silver beads Necklace Custom Order (sold). Turquoise always reminds me of the pair of small earrings I bought for my grandma while I was living in the States. I absolutely adore Dakota-Lakota crafts!
Byzantine Weave and Ceramic Beads Necklace made for Christmas and a gift for one of my aunts. Chain Mail is interesting but so time-consuming! I quickly get bored with it ...
