Gray Green Twig Necklace

Occasionally, I will leaf through a bohemian chic catalog and see what the models are wearing. This necklace is inspired by a simple necklace I saw in Anthropologie. I began a more complicated version, consisting of individually woven leafy twigs built upon a woven chain. Before I realized what I was doing, it was too late to turn back. 20″

Six Strand Art Glass Necklace

I spent a winter’s day making this necklace with my older sister with materials from her vast collection. Thanks, Beth! Unfortunately, we no longer live in the same town, but seeing this project will always be a pleasant reminder of listening to the Kinks whilst complaining about the big, bad world. This necklace has practically everything, natural stone rounds, freshwater pearls and lampwork glass. 22″

Purple Heart Necklace

A length of chain, a pile of beads and a spool of wire, and here it is. I don’t know how I ended up with so many purple beads, it’s not even my favorite color. Maybe it’s the way some purple beads will catch the light; there are bands of blue, flashes of red, flecks of brown. Not too heavy, feels nice around the neck, like a glass boa. 23.5″
