Materials

Metal crescent shape (used as background), Lace ribbon rose, suede flower, heat treated copper splash, buttons, faceted crystals, pearls, small conch shell, miscellaneous beads to fill in.

I saw the ribbon rose trim at Hobby Lobby and immediately wanted to cut it out and use in a Mixed Media bib necklace.

What are you most proud of?

I love how the variety of elements add to the romance of this piece

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't use hot glue! I highly recommend jewelry grade glue. Use as little glue as you can get away with; too much leaks through.
