Art is evident in our world in many forms. Art can be a painting or a sculpture. Art can be photography or music. Art can be movement and dance. Art can take any form your mind can dream up.
Art tells a story, whether in words, sounds, movements or feelings. This piece was inspired by my heart and the feelings that are in it. The focal is a lampwork glass work of art created by my dear friend Juls - JulsBeads. I've had it in for a year (or 3) and loved it, loved the colors, but hadn't captured it's story.
Until last week... and then it sang to me. And I created it.
I brought in shades of soft lavendar with Swarovski violet opal crystals, a rich amethyst and elegant turquoise. I was even able to pull in Pantone's 2013 color of the year "Emerald" using blue zircon crystals. The necklace is finished with a few vintage inspired faceted glass beads and luxurious amethyst pearls.
What's singing to you this week? Are you working with black & gold or are you playing in green for St. Patrick's day!
Stay inspired~

I am actually working in green and gold, but not for St Patty's day. I have an emerald green dress for Easter and it needs some spectacular jewelry. I will create a Toast of the Town necklace in green beads. Bought some last night along with some new beads from Michaels that I had not seen for a new assignment I have for that design team. Bright spring flower colors and blingy crystals that I hope to transform. Love the color palette on this one Miss Dawn. Super springy! Enjoy the day. Erin
Dawn, fantastic job! :)
This is a perfect example of how to incorporate a larger focal piece into a necklace. The other elements balance your focal without overpowering it. Amazeballs!
