More toned down colour

Following on from my little coral toned number, we have another little vintage piece. I think this piece has been influenced by autumn tones. Again, this exercise meant pulling back on my use of colour. I brightened things up with the gold sari silk, but I didn't want to wash out those lovely autumn beads. This has been made using reloved jewellery.

Toning down my use of colour

An exercise in restraint-sticking to vintage coral, pearl white and boho golds. This little necklace was made by hooking old, odd earrings and a tie clip onto a new chain. Easy to make with instant class, but for me it was so hard to stick to three colours!

Polymer in aqua

Larger squiggle beads. Sometimes it is fun to play with scale. The alternative
Jewellery course I did at the start of the year really emphasized this. I hated it at first, now I value it as a challenge.
