I hope everyone is having a great weekend! In last Sunday's post I mentioned that I was challenging myself to combine some of my many grab bag beads with one of the remaining choker cables. After I made that challenge, I had a moment of concern, wondering if I could pull that off!!I had a lot of fun working on this here and there during the week and, yes, I believe this is certainly a unique outcome, but I was feeling a vibe with it, so I kept going! Let me know what you think!
The only pieces that weren't in the grab bag were the pieces of chain. I used the 15" gray/silver choker with magnetic clasp, flower petal-like beads in green and yellow, along with light green faceted drops and a white faceted triangular drop.
I also wanted to take a moment to thank Jill Milan of Jewelry Elegance by Jill for listing me as a recipient of the Marie Antoinette award. Similar to the Lemonade award, it is suggested that a number of blogs you enjoy reading should be listed. So, here are a few more blogs and/or etsy shops that I enjoy browsing:
The Beading Gem's Journal
The Blue Buddha Boutique for some jaw dropping chainmaille work
Chezchani and I love browsing her etsy shop
Gorgeous work in DelpfineWelch's Etsy Shop

I agree - it is a fab piece! You certainly deserve the award. By the way, thanks for the mention of my blog ;-) Pearl
Lisa, you're absolutely right...these earrings are lovely!
I'm a big fan of repurposing vintage jewelry and components into new pieces. I've been building a small stash of items that are awaiting their new lives... I hope to blog about them in the near future.
Love your blog...I read it daily.
My best,
Liz
