Victorian Inspired Mixed Media Necklace

I don’t know about you, but this whole week slipped away unnoticeably and smoothly and somehow I lost the thread of it all.

My full time job is keeping me on my toes, tearing me away from my beloved hook, laughing out at my long term plans, tripping me every few steps. Hence progress in my creative world is slow but I am thankful for every single minute I can spare and create.

I started with the idea of a collection that would be entirely inspired by the Victorian era – you might remember my Victoriana brooches I made back in 2016. I am still hooked up on the idea for the collection and several pieces are already in progress, but this one got finished first and it was the easiest piece I have ever tackled.

It literally got finished in 15 minutes because I used flowers that had already been made and to top it I also added a pin given to me by a dear colleague which wasn’t worn much but now I will flaunt it happily.

After I took the photos I realized it could bear more bling so I am all set to adding some more of my pastel pearl beads. My motto of late has been if you think less is more, think twice. Because it has proven that the more I add the better it gets. So less is never more when it comes to my creations and that is it. Before I ramble some more, I wave you goodbye, but please come tomorrow – I have some girl brooches to show you.
