Twisted-Turquoise Necklace

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Classic, Whimsical, Romantic, Traditional


Materials

FineSilver Wire, 4mmTurquoise Beads, Swarovski Crystal

What was your inspiration?

Believe it or not...Chicken Wire. I was visiting Family in the middle of Nowhere, Pa and saw-and Fell in Love with-the regularity of Chicken wire. How easily it could be molded around any enclosure.
You just never know where/when you are going to get your Inspiration.
I have always LOVED seeing the SquashBlossom Southwest Turquoise Jewelry, but they are always so HEAVY.
I challenged myself to do something BOLD, yet DELICATE.

What are you most proud of?

My Brand New StoreFront in Pittsburgh Pa. I get to be surrounded by my Jewelry, Art and all my supplies so that I can create any time that the impulse hits

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Do not be afraid to make a mistake and deconstruct something. It means that you are learning when you figure out a better way to do something.
