Inspiration Wednesday - Autumn Swirl

Design-Seeds Autumn Swirl

I can't get the sound of the wind out of my head. I am hoping that you are safe, warm and dry in the wake of such a horrible and devastating storm. I couldn't have known 2 weeks ago when I chose this photo what we were going to be presented with these last few days.

I got the time to make this necklace. I really like how it turned out. It is fun, flirty. I love the movement, it is really comfy and lightweight. The blues and creams make it easy to put on with almost any outfit where jeans are involved.

Lots of wire wrapping and chain

The ceramic beads are from Gaea. The dangles at the side aren't just pretty they are also an extender for the necklace so the wearer can choose their most comfortable length.

the button is from Artisan Clay, the etched copper I made.

Here is the theme for TWO weeks:

I loved this color palette and the inspiration photograph, yum!
I was away for the weekend and packed up a small beading kit to take with me. As I sat on the deck overlooking the beautiful mountains of Upstate NY I created this necklace:

I used tiny barbell shaped glass beads to make the back part of the necklace for the front of the necklace I hand wire wrapped clear and gold fleck vintage lucite beads, glass fire polished beads and a handmade porcelain pendant which I hand wire wrapped to a Vintaj natural brass donut. I wire wrapped a couple glass flowers near the hook clasp for some movement.
