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 2015

New....Earrings to compliment my wearable art necklaces.

Jardin Majorelle

Inspiration for this design was taken from the Majorelle Gardens in Marrakech, Morocco.

The gardens were created by the french artist Jacques Majorelle in 1924.

 

 The earrings measure 3.5 cms. from the hooks. They are made from alumnium wire, cotton slubbed yarn, hemp thread and glass beads, the hooks are silver plated and nickle free, ......another unique design from Mouflon.
