I made this necklace for my daughter some time ago - it is made of turquoise and amethyst stones put together with a simple loop. - I really like this combination - more importantly RC likes it as well. She and I have very different taste in jewellery, so it is always a pleasure when she will actually wear a piece of my jewellery. RC always gives me great advice, and whenever I design to her specs, the piece is wonderful - and sometimes I even like it! Oh, by the way, this necklace can be taken apart and both sides can be worn separately.
I really try, when making jewellery, to make it as versatile as possible. I like to wear my jewellery in more than one way, so I just assume anyone wearing my jewellery will want the same thing.

Taz had a busy day sniffing things in the snow, chewing doggie biscuits, being scratched, and sleeping. So, modelling was not something she was terribly interested in when she got to "work". But she was a trooper.
Taz is a great model! Your work is very nice! I am visiting from the GYB party and am glad to meet you! Will be following. ~Terri
ReplyDeleteThank you so much - I agree - Taz is a great model - her colouring sets off the jewellery very nicely.
DeleteSo nice to have your daughter as a knowledgeable "sounding board", isn't it?
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the title of your post come across my feed, I had to chuckle... I couldn't help picturing Taz as the other kind of "working girl" *TeeHee*
Thank you for your kind words - and yes I appreciate my daughter's help immensely - I am afraid I have a slightly off centre sense of humour - thank you for appreciating it.
DeleteThis is gorgeous!!! I love the color combination and how it loops! And how wonderful that you are able to make pieces for your daughter! And your pup is so cute!!! Nicole
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear you like the necklace - I was pleased with it when I made it - And yes Taz likes to be in front of the camera - it seems she knows she is cute. Thank you for your kind words.
DeleteYes, I love it too.I make jewelry but the necklaces and bracelets always eventually break,so I get very discouraged.I stopped using the elastic but the wire is to stiff.String is hard to work with so I've kind of given up :( The one thing is though I have sooooooo many beads and eqipment I feel bad about it.How do You prevent them from falling apart? Thank You so much for Your visit-Denise
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words - most of these pieces are on beading wire - the key is to match your wire diameter (the thinner the diameter the more flexible the wire) to your crimp tube size. Please send me an email at macmillanmarie@gmail.com and I will try to explain more.
DeleteHi I'm stopping by from the blog party! You dog is wonderful and you do a beautiful job. On your jewelry!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and have a lovely week!

Thanks for visiting - it is always nice to hear that someone likes your work even if it is hard to accept at times. And yes the dog is wonderful - she was abandoned on the street - if only the people who had her knew what they were throwing away.
DeleteTaz is a wonderful model. Your jewelry is very pretty too. I love the turquoise color. Enjoyed my stay here. Loved the shots of the beach in Mexico, lucky you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughtful comment - I love to see Taz wearing my jewellery - it is so much fun to take the photos!

It is my pleasure - thanks for reciprocating - the hop was so much fun!
DeleteTaz is a very beautiful model. :) Lovely jewelry! I am not dressed if I don't have a necklace or a scarf around my neck. Amethyst just happens to be my birthstone and turquoise is always a classic. Thanks for stopping by my corner of the world. Best wishes, Tammy
