Drum Roll Please!
Jeannie Dukic is a talented artist who has a seemingly never-ending supply of older jewelry pieces that she designed years ago, and never found a market for. She sends them to her Challenge participants, and we transform them.
Here is what I received from Jeannie:
It's a sweet little charm necklace, with two charms made into dangles, but not attached to anything. The pearls are a peach color (hard to capture in a photo) and the charms, and the spacers are silver. Jeannie suggested that we include an art bead or beads in our design, but I was just not feeling that. Because what I saw when I looked at those components was a charm bracelet - but not an ordinary one.
I used memory wire, and added some royal blue dyed shell beads and it practically made its self. I loved the two long spacer beads as ends on the new bracelet.
The only part I did not use, because I just didn't need it, was the clasp. I like the way it turns into a sort of faux stack of bracelets. The dark blue of the shell beads really compliments the glass pearls, don't you think?
Here are the other participants, have fun hopping!!
