And speaking of fun things to look forward to this Fall, another is a new jewelry-making book I'm really excited about! Unexpected Findings: 50+ Clever Jewelry Designs Featuring Everyday Components

Today, I wanted to showcase one design in particular. My autumn-inspired, bohemian chic statement necklace called "Leaves of Gold". A trip to Vermont last October was the inspiration for this piece. It was so beautiful there. We had lunch in Brattleboro, VT. The downtown was picturesque. I remember giant green mountains dotted with GOLD, red and orange trees against a bright blue sky. The main street was filled with all these cute little artisan galleries and shops with an eclectic mix of art and handcrafted wares from furniture to jewelry. I could imagine a hip, stylish girl walking down that street wearing boots and a sweater, sporting this necklace!
The colors and materials of this piece make me think of spending time outdoors in the Fall. That is something I absolutely love to do! A walk in the woods, a hike in a beautiful forest or a getaway to the countryside to take in some leaf peeping. I have a feeling I will be wearing this a lot come Fall or even right now! You can make one, too or a version like it with my step-by-step instructions in Unexpected Findings: 50+ Clever Jewelry Designs Featuring Everyday Components

ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing necklace! This is one book that is definitely on my list as I went finding happy when I first started designing jewelry and I find that a lot of what I bought would never been used as intended.
