Spring Fling

Made this quick and easy ribbon-strung necklace the other day just for the heck of it since I felt "springy".  Hand dyed silk ribbon, etched shell pendant, and a brass jump ring.

Silver Skies Murano pendant

I've had this Murano glass pendant for years, trying to figure out just what to do with it.  Finally decided just to toy around with it and this was the result.  Also made matching earrings (next post).  This is a lot more silver than I usually use!

Margot's second congratulatory piece.

     As I've said before, my sister recently got her certification as a yoga instructor, and I had intended to make this necklace as a congratulations gift.  Unfortunately, the silk ribbon I'd bought to string it on was utterly the wrong shade, so I had to order a different one and delay the piece.  In that time, I made her a fun bracelet in congratulations as well.
     Now the new ribbon is here and matches very well, so it's done!

Name:  Rusty Sunflower

Funky shell bracelet

My sister is fond of bright colors and lots of them.  When I saw the bright colored shell strands at Hobby Lobby, I knew I had to make her a funky bracelet out of them, and picked the perfect 70s-esque clasp to go with them, which also suits her.
