Here's the gray and cream necklace I mentioned in my last post. I used a reconstructed new necklace (only $5.00 at a well-known dept. store). They are real faceted iridescent glass beads with wire connections. I removed a couple of the large beads and left the smaller ones in a line onto which I connected the flowers, all made from recycled fabrics. I used new and old beads to decorate them and sewed them on lace. I think it's lovely and I hope someone else does, too.
The little shop in which I have been selling these pretties is closing the end of Feb. Maybe it's time for a change. I think I'll take a little break and clean my art space--not that it needs it, mind you, and certainly not a fun thing to do, but necessary.

Bib Necklace
I can envision this on a bride wearing a vintage wedding gown. I've used an assortment of different fabrics, old buttons and vintage beads and lace on a new chain. After my first one sold, the buyer was asked about it by her client who came to the shop to buy one. Guess I'll start working on another pink and cream one. It's time-consuming but fun--especially when they sell.
