Alenka Obid is a wonderful polymer clay artist who's work I admire. Today is the first anniversary of her blog. To celebrate she is having a blog hop. I am one of the participants. She sent us each one of her clay components and asked us to make something with it. Here is what I made. The moment I looked at the component I saw fringe on the bottom so that is what I did. I stitched spiral ropes for the straps using shades of yellow and light apricot. I used double gold findings to finish the straps. I cut a finding in half for the clasp end. The focal end has beautiful yellow pearl and a Montana blue faceted teardrop. I hope you like my necklace. It was fun making it. Please see what the other participants made at

ReplyDeleteThanx Cynthia. Being part of this hop was fun. I could see the fringe the moment I looked at my component.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty necklace, Becky!!! Just perfect for the sunny days!!! I would never thought about adding a fringe, but I like it!!!

Alenka
Thanx Alenka. I'm glad that you like my necklace. I wanted your awesome polymer component to stand out so I embellished it. I enjoyed being part of your celebration. Your clay components are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow, Becky, your awesome monochromatic design is SOOO elegant, but playful, too. To me the pendant with its beautiful fringe reads like an art deco bird on her nest (just this wacky old girl's opinion LOL). Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanx Monique. I'm glad that you like my necklace. I love how you described it.
DeleteLove the colour of this amazing necklace. How did you add the fringe?
ReplyDeleteThanx Jo-ann I ladder stitched the Yellow ceramic beads from one hole to another across the bottom, then fringed the ladder. Thanx for asking.
ReplyDeleteI love your necklace. It's modern and fun. It was very ingenious the way you've added some fringe to the pendant. I'm now following your blog. Enjoy the day, Ana
ReplyDeleteThanx Ana I appreciate your comments and also someone new following my blog.
DeleteHi Becky,
ReplyDeleteYour necklace is like a bright sunny day! Very pretty and would look really nice worn with a sun dress. Beautiful job.

DeleteOh what a pretty necklace, love the color, so sunny and I totally love the fringe.
ReplyDeleteThanx Kepi, Yellow is not my best color but I have been working with it more lately and it is growing on me. I could see the fringe from the moment I opened the package.
DeleteWhat a lovely necklace! So bright and cheerful... I think you showcased Alenka's focal very nicely. (And yay, fringe!)
ReplyDeleteThanx, I am proud of how this necklace turned out.
ReplyDeleteThat's a stunner! It's like a sea of sunshine and you can't help but smile and feel good with a necklace like that. Very, very pretty indeed and shows off Alenka's gorgeous component to perfection.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous necklace and the bead fringe is the perfect compliment to the piece.
ReplyDeleteThanx Dolores. I am glad that you like my necklace. I could see fringe the moment I looked at my clay piece. I wanted it to really stand out and I think the fringe did that.
DeleteBecky! I love what you did with your component!!! It's gorgeous!!!! Yellow is a color I am usually afraid of but I would totally wear this!
