I do love doing the weekly challenges offered online! I find that I become inspired by the theme or prompt and also by seeing what other artists are making. I end up making something I would have not thought of before! Go look on the site at all the amazingly creative art that has been posted already.
This necklace idea just came to me as I was contemplating what I could make that is "round" which is today's "Mixed Media Mondays" theme. I look around my art room at all kinds of stuff until I happened upon this old rhinestone buckle. Then I chose the ribbon, and the vintage pearl drops. The hardest part was picking out what would go in the center, until I finally decided on the old topaz button. I really enjoyed making this. It is not quite finished as it has taken quite a bit of time today and I need a vintage clasp. I will post another photo when the back is properly done.
Wow, what a great idea, you were very creative today Terri :) I love rhinestones with ribbon, and your ribbon roses are just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the challenges for the same reason, but have had to stop them for a while due to other commitments, hope to get back into it again soon.
Absolutely stunning and magical, fit for a Queen Terri!
ReplyDeleteOH MY, This is really beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWell it certainly looks like something Marie Antoinette kept in a dainty little jewel box in her boudoir. Perhaps a gift from an admirer?
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Terri!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! All the elements are perfect together
ReplyDeleteTerri - this is absolutely gorgeous! Diane
ReplyDeleteWOW, I love how you put all that together to make something so beautiful!!! Very pretty color's
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTerri- I meant to leave you a comment to tell you I had posted your charms, but I moved a little too slow. This necklace is incredible and perfect for the Marie necklace swap. I loved you post about "so what, do it anyway." I can so relate to sleepless nights right now. Having a lot of trauma here. Art keeps me sane, but eventually my worries stifle my art, and then I do nothing, and then depression can set in easily. Just trying to plug along, so your posts and art were inspiring tonight when I visited.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think this is the prettiest necklace ever!

ReplyDeleteI love the name of your blog. I too feel in the last year I have been given affirmations of living an artful life. I turn 50 next month and have felt my little projects and my new job are affirmations that I took the right path this year. Being creative helps me to stay positive. I love your latest creations!
