If you said Ferns, then ding.ding.ding you win! I found a great pendant on Artbeads.com a while back. It's a beautiful hand-painted pendant that features soft, wispy ferns in blues, greens and a touch of black for contrast! I saw it and immediately my mind started working on how I could use it in one of my designs.
Because the pendant is in itself so beautiful, I didn't want to make the necklace over powering. So I opted to string it on two strands of ribbon that pull out the green naturally of ferns and the black, to make this piece match any outfit.
I added a few silver beads to the ribbon to give it a bit of shimmer and really make the piece have a voice of it's own! I'll be taking this piece to an Open House tomorrow which will be the first time it is available to the public! Fern just might find a new home then! If not, I'll put her up in my Etsy Store early next week.
Hope your weekend is wonderful!

What a coincidence Dawn! The engagement ring I am designing right now, is inspired by ferns! The bride loves ferns and plans on having a bouquet of them instead of flowers at her wedding. I am going to forward your link to her. :)
