if ever there has been a challenge
that stumped me
made me want to throw my hands up
and wave my white rag
surrender myself to the creative gods
well this was it
i commend
a thousand times over
EVERY
jewelry maker
for i am not one
remember awhile back
i shared with you all that
was hosting a
challenge
and little ol me said to myself
and to each of you
oh i think this sounded like great fun
a challenge that would incorporate
brass bits
creating a piece from such
and i had my grandmothers crystals and pearls
and had thought what better way
than to recreate a piece from these
WOW
this
WAS
a
CHALLENGE
through this process
i have gained a far greater respect
for each who can create such gorgeous pieces
working with enormous amounts of patience
taking bits and bobs
and
turning them into
magnificent pieces
for people to treasure
and wear
thank you so
for creating such a wonderful challenge

Oh,my...HOW beautiful is your challenge,my dear,dear friend:-)))*
Much Love to you,

Creating jewelry given the tiny pieces to be arranged for beauty would require infinite patience. Stunning!
Jewelry made from keepsakes shares the memories.
Oh, I do love it! I think you have done a beautiful job and am so VERY proud of you!!
This dainty necklace incorporating your grandmother's crystals and pearls will now be cherished even more.....♥
As soon as I saw those lacy brass beads, I flashed back to a necklace I had as a kid in the 60s with those exact same beads, plus some kind of brassy tassel at the end. I haven't remembered or thought of that necklace in years -- simply years! Thanks for the trip down memory lane via your own lovely necklace!
Well we do need to challenge ourselves now and again don't we. And sometimes we don't know when those challenges will be more than we expect. You did a wonderful job with your challenge non the less. It's a beautiful necklace.
Oh, It turned out absolutely beautiful!! And to use some of your Grandmother's pieces, makes it even more of a treasure!
I think you did an amazing job!
Have a lovely and blessed week sweet friend!
Sincerely,

This is a beautiful piece - !!! I know what you mean about it being harder than it looks!!! I was playing with some leftover beads and stones and copper wire, trying to fashion something like your beautiful calming beads (hope you don't mind!)my daughter called mine zen sticks! Bending the wire, getting it just right - it is not as easy as it looks!!! I love that you used bits from your grandmother's necklace in your creation- makes it that much more dear....
Super gorgeous..charming and very special..carries such a special energy to it!! HUgs!
Oh, you clever girl! Your creation is just beautiful x
Sounds like the challenge lived up to it's name! But sure aren't they not the best ones. I absolutely love what you've created and the thought behind it is so touching. I'm sure your grandmother would be very proud of you :)
Hope you're having a wonderful day,

Oh - it's so pretty! Jewelery making is not something I am brave enough to try - but you've done a wonderful job!
OMG! this is a magnificent piece! It's soft, yet speaks a thousand words! It's a beautiful wonder!
I wish I could work wonders as you!
my best,
Lisa
