Using a highly sophisticated randomizing process - writing all commenter's names on paper, cutting them into separate strips, folding and putting them in a paper bag which I shook several times and then reached into to pick the winner's name - I'm pleased to announce that
Spamwarrior who writes the
"How to be a Perfect Lady" blog is the winner of a customized bracelet with "blue/gray...rain colors"! If you'll send me a shipping address, I'll get to work on the bracelet and send it to you once it's done. Congratulations!
I finished the
necklace that I posted about this morning. It's pretty much as sketched, except that I decided to add some detail to the place where the pendant would hang by adding a couple round pearls (they might be glass, I got them in an assortment and am not sure) with gold filled beads and roundels.

I used a circular toggle clasp with pearls snug up against wire guards to finish it off.

I'm going to have to order some gold filled wire and re-do the pearl embellishments on the connector, the gold wire I used is too reddish and doesn't quite match, but it was all I had handy in the right gauge (I think it's 26, maybe 24 gauge).
Yay! I won!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful neckalace.
Yay! and thank you for the compliment on the necklace - I'm quite happy with it if I say so myself...
ReplyDeleteI'm so (sniff) happy (sniff) for Spamwarrior!!...
ReplyDeleteI have got to tell you how much I love your finished necklace. Seriously, you just keep outdoing yourself from day to day. Awesome work! :)
Thank you so much, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteIt's great how the circle motif echoes along the length of the necklace. Good design, Dawno!
