My painting is on hold for a while as we hit the road today. I'm still not happy with those very frustrating rocks in the rock pool. Pete has guided me a little more and I'll take his advice once we stop for a few days.
So, back to the buttons. I've been wanting to expand my design for some time and finally on one of those dreamy days in Canberra, inspiration came o me. I tried and I succeeded. I am very pleased.

| Wanting a chunkyer style I made the necklace in two stages using both vintage and contemporary buttons. For added interest I put in a little assymetery in the drop section. |
 |
| It is quite stunning worn with a variety of outfits and colours. |
 |
| I am now trying different colours and was happy with the drop section but not so with the actual neck piece and will be changing this one. |
 |
| I completed this necklace just proir to my new design and having the large feature button led to my new thoughts of extending the size of the feature by adding a drop peice. It was how to do it that was the challenge. |
The black and white necklace is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kellie, that black and white one looks fantastic. I like the asymetrical design too. Looks fabulous on.
