So, my cousin gave me these cool glass flowers. But I’ve never known what to do with them. I embellished some jars (earlier post) and with the ‘left overs’ I decided to try to make a set of jewelry. This is what I’ve got so far.
The long series of chain and single flowers will be a necklace, the short series with flowers wrapped close to the chain will be a bracelet and the two single flowers will be earrings.
You can see some extra leaves and clumps of ‘berries’ I may incorporate.
I was going to attach these large hooped chains to smaller chains at the end, but they flopped around badly, so I went back and got more of this flat chain.
I’ve added some leaves to the necklace chain.
I like the earrings – which are kind of hard to see here. But I don’t like the necklace very much. Is that just because I don’t personally like lots of dangling things? Or is it too much? What might make it better?
This is what I have left over. I don’t generally like the berry things, but I do like how the light makes them glow. How to encorporate them?
I also thought I could use some extras to make barrettes.
Thoughts?!
