Puppy Love - Spring inspired mixed media collage necklace

This is a piece I've been working on on and off for a few weeks. I went overseas end of August, and came back in mid September. Before I left, it still felt very much like Winter, but when I came back, all out of a sudden, Spring had sprung. The shrubs and trees were all in blooms, and when I went back to work, there were masses of pink azaleas lining the footpaths leading from the carpark to the office. I also happened to have this resin coated cab which I made a little while ago, which I had been wanting to turn into a necklace. Anyhow, I was really inspired by the colours and fragrance all around me, and I ended up doing this extra girly super sweet necklace. Don't think I've ever made anything quite so pink before (I even painted some brass stampings pink to match), LOL. Please click on the photos if you'd like a larger view.

  4. This has to be my fav piece out of the three. The spring influences come through so strongly. I can imagine wearing this and a bikini to a every posh beach party - turning everyone's head.

    You are just amazing ! Do you sell your jewellery or just make them for yourself and friends.

  5. Thanks for your lovely comments, Sandy. I do sell my jewellery, but as I have to work rather long hours in my daytime job, I don't have a lot of free time to create. Used to do a market stall once a month but lately have been selling mainly to friends and by words of mouth, as well as doing commission work. I just wish there were more hours in each day so I can do more!:)
