Silk Scarf Jewelry

I've been working on a new batch of scarf jewelry designs.  These ones are more suitable to hanging on a lighter organza or silk scarf.  I am really happy with these ones and the jewel tone colors go beautifully with the silk scarves that my friend Rosemarie dyes by hand.

I wish we lived closer to our niece as she makes such a gorgeous model for our jewelry.  It is always so much nicer to see a piece worn on an actual live person instead of a mannequin.

More Floral Scarf Pins

I've been making more floral scarf pins for the summer.  Other than the sunflower pin, these have the Rivoli Swarovski crystals embedded in the center.

I've also been experimenting with different backings.  I like the clay back with the embedded metal strip but I found that part to be so labor intensive.

This pin has a heavy wire that I embedded into the clay and seems to work rather well.  The way I make my metal wire button shanks (see my Making Beautiful Buttons tutorial) gave me the idea on how to do make and embed these rings.
