Twilight Garden Necklace

Hi Crafty Friends!

Have you ever wandered into the garden just as the light was dimming at twilight?  It's that moment when the sunset is gone but light still lingers touching the garden with shimmers of subtle color.  The moon highlights pale flowers of lavender and pink with a luminescent glow.  That's what I had in mind when I designed this necklace with its palette of mauves, iridescent glass flowers and gunmetal filigree.

This necklace was chosen for the Dusty Purples section of the new special issue magazine, 101 Bracelets, Necklaces and Earrings. 

As usual, this magazine is packed with loads of inspiration and projects in all the colors of the rainbow.  You're sure to find a design in your style and color that you can't wait to make  - or, have someone make for you!


Happy Crafting!

Knit Necklace and Earrings

Hi Crafty Friends!

It's the first Monday again and time for another round of the Designer Craft Connection blog hop.  This month we're sharing crafts we love.  One of the techniques of which I've become quite fond is French knitting. 

Fiber jewelry is very on trend right now.  And, with the French knitter, you can whip up this necklace and earrings set in no time at all.  It's a perfect spring ensemble and, with all those colors, it will match any outfit!

You can find it here.

This is a super simple craft that I have been using in all sorts of ways.  Stop by again to see more of what you can do with a French Knitter. 

Happy Crafting!
