something about warm weather inspires me.
when i was in pleasantville, ny, a few weeks back, timbo and i went to some of the quaint little antique shops and i luckily managed to make out like a bandit on some super cute pendants. at the time, i knew they would be perfect for some jewlery, but when would i find the time?
well my friends, today was the day.
i broke out all of my beads and got to crafting. i managed to put together this dear little charm necklace for my good friend, becca's 25th birthday. i have a pretty eccentric, loud, sense of style and always accessorize, and she seems to have a similar style (after all, she did live in soho! you know the girls got style just from that!).
here is a sneak peek:
the detailing:
the charms are simple: a burnt orange clay flower, an open heart, a toogle that holds a feather, beaded heart and statue of liberty (becca is from MD, so this is her way to remember NY when she leaves us in a year).
i am kind of in love with it. i think it's the second piece of jewlery i have ever made that screams MELISSA! all over it.
