I have had this ceramic focal from Karen Totten of Starry Road Studio for quite awhile now.
I have made more than several attempts to incorporate this focal into a necklace - but nothing I came up with worked for me. Everything I tried seemed to take away from the simplicity of the beads, which by the way, I absolutely adore!
In my last few posts, I have been incorporating silk into my necklaces. I was sure I only had shades of purples and eggplant left in my fiber stash. But, I don't know when I purchased this - or who it was from - but I found more! I swear - this has to have been in my little box labeled "fibers" for at least two years now...at the bottom.
Well, I also still had 3 of the copper bails left that I made last week...
...as well as a stash of handmade components that I have not used yet, and these little wire connectors still remind me of a bird's nest, albeit, with a huge hole in the middle!
I think this necklace is my favorite so far - the muted tones tend to match my personality more.
And that little pop of red..yum!
Who knows...this newly located stash of silk may mean I have to make more necklaces!
Spring has sprung here - and the morning is my favorite time of day to be outside - it was a most enjoyable walk with Sarge this morning! Hope you are having wonderful weather where you are located, as well!
Thanks so much for stopping by today - have a great Wednesday!!!
