Round Robin necklace swap
Well I’ve finally finished my and the final part of the swap, only a little late for which I am so sorry Kella and Victoria, but hopefully when they receive them they won’t mind!
Kellas first, if you check out Victoria’s blog you can see the stage the necklaces were when I received them. I struggled on this one, to me it seemed finished already and I really didn’t want to spoil it, so after a lot of deliberation and sketches I came up with this.
Technically its not much, but I do think it is the finishing touch and I’m pleased with it, it doesn’t detract from the stunning pendant or gorgeous beads and reflects the copper wire wrapping and the turquoise colour nicely, with just a delicate flower suspended in the middlefrom a copper coloured chain.
To make up for the ‘lack’ of additions, and the lateness, I made a matching pair of earrings, crocheted with wire just like the flower. I really hope Kella likes it!
Next up is Victoria’s. To me, with the beautifully faded ribbon, the pearls and the hints of silver it just seemed to sum up a sort of faded glory. I had a couple of ideas I tried with this one but they were all too sort of fresh. And this idea just evolved from that really.
Again I really like it, otherwise I wouldn’t have done it, and I just hope Victoria is as pleased with my additions. I also made a little pair of matching earrings using a couple of the beads I was initially going to use in the necklace as they do go well too.
I really did enjoy joining in with this, Its made me think in different ways and I’ve helped make a couple of necklaces that I’d never have thought of before and it has added greatly to my ideas pile. So a huge thanks to Kella for organising this – I hope your pleased girls!
Update: Kella really likes her necklace and has posted a gorgeous picture of her wearing it on her blog which I’ve pinched as it looks so good, whatdo you think?
How could we not be pleased you have certainly completed the pieces to perfection, I am totally in love with my piece and have worn it with my frumpy clothes all day, Tomorrow I have errands to run and will be wearing it again
