About two weeks ago I wrote asking for your help deciding which design(s) to make. At that point in time I had intended to make two of my four designs. I didn't anticipate that these would take forever to make, so I only ended up with one complete neckpiece....for now.
I'm pleased with the outcome. Can't wait to make another to get it absolutely perfect.
What do you think? Is this something you would wear? I'm curious to know how people feel about bold-textile-art jewellery and accessories....
I love it! I would definitely wear it or something like it. Of course, I am mostly hanging out at home with toddlers. I think it is definitely a conversation piece too. And I think it is one of those pieces people will either love or hate. I will look forward to seeing the other neckpiece some day. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your kind words Chantal. I very much appreciate it. :)
ReplyDeleteI foresee myself making more neckpieces using these techniques next semester.
