Here is the wonderful selection of Humblebeads I received from my partner Heather Powers.
They are all so beautiful, I wanted to use them all in one fabulous necklace :-)
But the trouble was... The plan fell through! Nothing fit on my fiber, nothing fit on my wire.... So my big plan of this fabulously movable fibrous necklace didn't work! and I don't have a lot of golden metal findings to choose from... So instead of one fabulous piece of jewelry, I ended up making 2 simple pieces with just a few bits I had on hand.
Here I braided silk cords and tied on a little tassel :-)
And this one my daughter already took from me. She's wearing it right now. I had one gold chain in my bead stash and this is it.
I love this one! And the thing is, Since it IS so simple, I will probably get A LOT more wear out of it than my original idea!
Very nice, Kristie. I love the one with the key. I agree, you'll get lots of use out of both.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I can see why your daughter stole it!
ReplyDeletevery nice I like the one with the key best!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Kristie! These are soooooo cool! I think my favorite is the one with the key pendant. Enjoy:)
ReplyDeleteAh, I hate it when things don't go according to plan! But you've done such a good job despite this! I agree with the others, I like the key one too :) well done, best your daughter is chuffed :D
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love pieces like that because they'll go with just about everything. Have fun with the rest of the soup!
ReplyDeleteIf I were your daughter, I'd take it from you too. These are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI can see why your daghter took the necklace - I would take both! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteheathers beads are beautiful..you did a really nice jobe working those into your necklaces
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful pcs Heather sent! And what you made is really lovely!
ReplyDeleteI like the second one a lot too, your daughter is most clever ;)
ReplyDeleteThey are so sleek and modern, no wonder your daughter grabbed it!! Love the dangles on the first and the open rectangles really balance out the pendant with the key. Very nice!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how our kids take our best stuff?

I can understand what your daughter loves about this necklace. It is really cute. I would wear it all the time.
ReplyDeleteI think the one with the key is just terrific! I can see why it got taken by your daughter, I'd take it too!
ReplyDeleteI love them! Both would be fun to wear. Great job.
ReplyDeleteBlogger is messin' with me. I am having the worst time commenting tonight!
ReplyDeleteYou know I love all things keys... and I ADORE anything that Heather makes. So, yeah, I think that you BOTH lucked out! Your work is lovely. I would have like to see how your ceramic pieces complemented Heathers. And I don't blame your daughter one bit. I would be wearing that one myself. I have a tendency to go over the top and I can understand where you were probably going...I quite like these helpings of soup! Simple is sometimes much better!
Enjoy the day!
Erin
Both are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLovely necklaces, simple yet delicate. Good luck retreiving the necklace :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes simple is best for the very reason you mentioned--it's worn the most! I love how you took these wonderful ingredients and made simple designs--each one is unique and it's easy on the eye. I love the feminine feel to both of them. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Erin. I did want to work in some of my own beads, but when my plan fell through, I felt kind-of rushed. (because I waited too long)
I think I will be working on some Humblebead/Artisan Clay pieces soon.
The only trouble with that is that the key necklace has been the feature of all games since my daughter put it on. Princesses and pirates, gold from her home kingdom, ransom for the pirates, the key to the dungeon where the princess and the queen were locked... Even tough boy pirates have been wearing it :-)
So hip and modern! you've got a 'wow' from me, smiles, Virginie
ReplyDeleteI love HumbleBeads so I just knew you'd come up with something divine! I love it all, particularly the one with the key! Great work!
ReplyDeleteWish I was your daughter! I love that connector Heather sent you used it in a way that makes the most of the components. Awesome work!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter has a good eye, that is one of my favorite pieces in the soup party.
ReplyDeleteStunning! Heather's beads are marvelous and what you did is beautiful. I see why your daughter took the necklace, I would too! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are both fantastic! I can see why your daughter took that last one! I have a jewelry thief around here too ;)
ReplyDeleteThe key necklace gets my vote, also! Nice job!
