Today I was rather industrious at my desk, and with my camera. That’s one of the great things about doing this jewellery thing; I get to combine complimentary interests and keep myself entertained at the same time. So, to stave off the boredom of another day on the couch, I decided to sort through the piles of beads and findings I have accumulated over the last two-ish years to see what I could put together that would please me. I came up with the first of the three attached photographs .. the Blue Lagoon Necklace.
I have had this lovely blue dichroic glass cabochon stored away with two other similar cabs in slightly different colours for a long time now. The intention when I purchased them was to turn them into woven wire necklaces of some variety, but as I rummaged through my odds and ends I found a striking frame that I had forgotten I had. The Blue Lagoon Necklace was born. I incorporated some bronzed, blue 3-cut beads that I received as a gift from one of my suppliers into the chain and finished the piece with a drop bead wrapped in a lovely antique spiral beadcap. All in all, I am pretty pleased with how this one turned out.
Shown with the Blue Lagoon is a wrapped pearl bracelet and my antique-look Love Lies Bleeding necklace. Neither of these are new pieces; they simply got their photographs made over today, so I thought that I would include them. All three pieces will be making it to the store over the next few days, so if you are interested in the details, please feel free to browse.
