Faux Red Turquoise Collar Necklace and Earrings

Here is a collar necklace and earrings I created using my Faux Turquoise technique in the new shade of red.  I am really in love with this new color and the deep mica shift effect it has.  To create this color I used the Pantone Fall Fashion Color Aurora Red.

Winter Shimmer

Here are a few more necklaces that remind me of winter.  I enjoy working with color more than black, grey or white but we find this color combination is the most popular as it goes with nearly anything.  The plus of wearing a piece that is more "neutral" is that you can wear it with almost any color.

Floral Collar Necklace Prototypes

Whenever we create a new design I like to play around with making a prototype or two first.  Generally these pieces are added to my own jewelry collection.  When we are happy with the design we will create similar pieces to sell.

This is the first floral collar style necklace I made before I created the "Sunflower" one that was entered into the Shuswap Lake Festival of the Arts show.

This has become one of my favorite pieces to wear so I decided to make another one but this time in the colors to go with a new top I recently purchased.  

I always like to make a watch strap to match my jewelry pieces.  This one I made with only leaves so I can wear it with most of my floral themed items.

Some Pop Art Chokers

I've been experimenting with a technique that Julie Picarello taught us in the workshop I attended last year. Hers look a lot like lizard tails.  I've added a twist (sideways that is) using the Pantone Spring 2010 colors and came up with these collar-like chokers that have more of a pop art look to them.  They are fun and a little addicting to make.  You can view a few more of these in our Wearable Art Gallery.
