If anyone is still unsure about vintage brass, Lynda's design here should convince you how versatile this alternative metal is.The vintage brass filigree balls and amber colored cathedral beads were wonderfully contrasted with the warmly toned large flat oval dream agate gemstone beads. The even larger tear drop shaped rhodonite focal also added class to this first time beader's design.
Yes, you read right. This workshop was Lynda's very first exposure to making jewelry! She loved every minute of it.

That pendant stone is fantastic! And I love the spacing where she added large stones between those lace brass beads! Her sense of space and volume is great! Teri

I really like her use of cathedral beads. I find those hard to use in a design with other beads. Love the pendant focal too.
ReplyDeleteStriking piece! And my first impression - it matches your blog!
ReplyDeleteShe certainly has a natural talent for sure.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I didn't notice it matched the blog colors too! BetteJo, you are observant!
Beautiful necklace! I actually have the same teardrops that I've had for years because I couldn't find beads I think would compliment it. Gives me inspiration to give it another try. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow! That piece is beautiful. Congrats to Lynda! Well done.
