In my previous post I mentioned that I made myself some Easter jewellery.. well, here are some pics! The necklace is made with fabulous, custom-made ribbon and cord by the lovely Diane of SowZerE Designs. I am mad about her ribbons and have quite a collection. She creates the most beautiful, well-made ribbons, strings and cords that I've ever seen! Just look at those colours :) I also used a beautiful, hammered Sterling silver ring made by the wonderful George of By George. George is an amazing artist who creates gorgeous jewellery and chainmaille pieces. Her work is to die for! I've used one of my own lampwork focals for the pendant. This focal was an experiment and I'm relatively happy with how it turned out. My animals are usually in full 3-D and applying the bunny faces to the base bead was a great learning process. Since it's my first effort I had to keep it for myself and I think it works well in this necklace. I also used four of my Confetti Mini Gems at the ends of the ribbon and cord. This creates and bit of weight which makes the necklace lay nicer against the skin. I didn't cut the ribbon or cord (how could you cut something so exquisite?!) so, as an additional bonus, the beads hang down beneath the bow and create a pretty view from the back as well.
