Flowers for the Queen - A Bead Embroidered Necklace with an AH HA Moment

I'm so excited to share this piece with you today!  In creating this necklace, it stretched me outside the box and allowed me to grow.  First, let me show you Flowers for the Queen!
One of a Kind Art Jewelry - Bead Embroidered Necklace

You can read the full story of how Flowers for the Queen came to life here.  Part of the romance behind this piece is that the flower on the focal is a real flower.  I purchased the pendant because I love bringing natural elements together with man made beads to create something special.  It feels like I'm honoring Mother Earth while sharing my creative talents and gifts.  So the dried, pressed flower on this pendant spoke to me... but here was the kicker... the flower was yellow.

Did you read that right???? YELLOW???  I know, I was as shocked as you were!  It's a big challenge for me to get into a yellow or orange creative space.  I love the colors, I just don't design with them often.

So thus, I had to think outside of the box and incorporate a beautiful happy yellow, along with two of my favs turquoise and brown.  Hope you like the piece.  I have many more photos posted on my website along with the whole story of how I designed this piece.  

I hope you enjoy story and can see the same beauty in this necklace I saw while creating it!  It exudes happiness and love!

Make it a terrific week!

Top Super Secret Jewelry Exchange - REVEALED

Guess what?  We had sun... for just a wee bit this morning.  So I took full advantage and captured some photos that I know you were just chomping at the bit to see. :)

Back a few days ago I posted about a jewelry exchange I was doing with Dawn from Alaska.  (If you didn't read it, click here to catch up.)  I'll wait....

Well, Dawn wears mostly neutrals, I wanted to design a piece for her that fit with ANYTHING she wears.  SO, I've combined hues of black, browns and copper to give this piece the depth and color I had envisioned.  Something different, unique and one of a kind.  So in honor of finishing this before Valentine's day, I'm calling this piece - Dove Delight!

Dawn will be seeing this for the first time on The Hive... so I can't wait to hear her squeal!  I bet I won't even need a telephone to hear that! :o)

Have a fantastic weekend everybody!  I'm off to go enjoy our 40 degree heat wave we're experiencing!
