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.

Wedding Necklace

I don't know why but I can't just do one thing at a time.  I had been working on the cross-stitch project for two days but the call of knitting and jewelry-making was strong in my heart.  My house is a wreck all the time with lurking projects in every corner and on every flat space.  If I were ever put in isolation, I think I'd take apart my sweater and create a necklace--or something.  I'm obsessed with creating.  I love to work at it and I do WORK.  Most of the time things don't just fall into place--not for me.  It's the rare occasion when that happens.  I spent all morning today putting together "wedding necklace."  S'more Couture is starting a wedding section and I'm working to fill it, bit by bit.  I saw a gorgeous necklace in the background of some fabric flowers photo and I fell in love with it.  This is a rendition of it.  The top two necklaces are my version of green with gray--seemingly the newest fashion color trend.  The second one I actually made for myself.  I thought "very long" was a different way to knit a scarf, so there it is.  Now, back to the cross-stitching.
