Spring Bling Torch-fired Enamel Necklace!
Just because it's the first day of winter doesn't mean we can't dream of spring. These are pieces I made for a friend to give to his wife. He sends me a wad of money and says, "go for it!" He doesn't feel a need to have input into the design of the piece. He trusts me. I just do my best and this is what I came up with this year. I used torch-fird enamel beads by me and gorgeous lampwork beads by Patti Cahill. I hope the Mrs. likes it!
Really beautiful. What enamel colors did you use? (If I can ask)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Definitely feels like spring when I see your necklace!!
ReplyDeleteShe'll love it, I'm sure. And the best thing is she's getting special handmade pieces that no one else will have. She's one lucky lady!
ReplyDeleteSo fresh. I like the earth tones with the pastels, very appealing.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to have a job so I can start torch firing.
Gorgeous. She can't help but love it. Just makes you feel like spring all over.
ReplyDeleteWow, Barbara, that's stunning. So beautiful and fun. I have to admit that I have yet to play with the toys we traded, but I'm really looking forward to it! It was so nice to meet you, BTW. Hope you're having a nice holiday season!
ReplyDeleteBe-eAu-Ti-MoUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust what I needed to see on a decidedly grey and gloomy day. It's a lovely bright set and I'm sure the Mr (and Mrs) will love it. Happy holidays!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning, makes me wish I had a hubby who would hand an artist a big wad of cash and commission something for me! Lucky, lucky lady. Your work is so fresh and cheerful, full of sparkly color and bring-a-smile-to-the-face whimsy. I just love it, Barbara!
