Wearable Art Jewellery - a New design

2015-05-14T17:29:34.769+01:00  Another piece of wearable art in the making

I started with choosing the colours and the main feature

The yarns I selected were caramel slubbed cotton, cream silk yarn and stone silk and wool. I wrapped white cotton jersey strips with the cream and stone yarns

A rough sketch of my design idea

This beautiful fossil stone pendant was the featured element and I covered aluminum wire with the caramel slubbed cotton to attach it to the main necklace and for some decoration.

So far so good but it has taken hours to get this far!

Now you will have to be patient, I will blog the finished necklace as soon as it 'comes off the drawing board'

Wearable Art...new design!

I have begun another piece of wearable art jewellery.....

I chose some stone white coloured silk and wool yarn with a slight slub and used as a base white cotton jersey material.

As always it took ages to do the wrapping, the design gradually evolving as I worked.

...added more 'ropes'....not sure if its too busy now?

 

I have made the fixing at the back of the neck.

...and now I am trying to decide how to finish it
I have two ideas

The first is another stone from Morocco.

 attached with yarn covered wire

 or perhaps brown oak leaves and wooden beads and seeds?
