Shades of Dawn Necklace - Tutorial

Shades of Dawn Necklace:
I have seen necklaces like this a bit lately and I just thought they were beautiful! I especially love the pearls with satin...so classy and really can dress anything up. So, I had to try it out for myself and have decided to call them the "Shades of Dawn" Necklace line as I will be carrying them in my shop.

I just loved this saphire shade of blue...and the silver toned pearls looked gorgeous with it. So here is my version of these necklaces I've seen around lately...

Shades of Dawn in Saphire Blue

The most difficult thing was making the rosette out of satin!! I'm thinking I might have to do a seperate tutorial on that simply because I had to figure it out...I personally do NOT like the frayed look when it comes to satin, so I was hooked on trying to figure out how to keep those frayed edges hidden.


AND I FIGURED IT OUT!

I mean, look at that rosette...zero frayed edges :) I likey!

Ahhh...man...I love this necklace. I think it would be perfect as a bridesmaid gift, or for the bride. I wore mine tonight with a baby pink shirt with silver threads...and a pair of jeans. You could really go so many ways with this necklace.


I'm sure there are some of you who could figure making this necklace out in a heartbeat, but if there are some of you who would like to see a tutorial, I am going to be making a few more of these. I am happy to put together one.


Come on! What do ya think??

Broken To Beautiful

I bought this swan a long time ago at a garage sale.  I wish I snapped a picture of the swan when  it was new and also when it was falling to pieces.  It has been through all kinds of weather. It was so broken that the beak had fallen off, the wood on it would break in two so easily.  It was a hopeless case. I was told it was just a piece of trash and I just needed to throw it away.  I held onto it for a year or so.  wondering if it was really worth the effort.  It really was a piece of trash.  I started to glue the pieces together, but I couldn't find the beak. It took a while of digging around in boxes and I finally found it. I decided to make a plaster clay.  I worked on it for a long time letting it dry before continuing. I used aluminum foil to form a cheek for each side. I plastered it over several times letting it dry between applications. I had some broken porcelain pieces but I also had to break pieces for this project.  I used ...
