My parents gave me a very nice wubbers flat nose pliers which came in handy when my husband surprised me with a kit for Blue Buddha's Chunky Cuff bracelet, designed by W. John MacMullen.
When I first saw this bracelet, I wasn't sure about it, but after seeing it in person, I just *love* it. John used a layering technique I hadn't seen before and the result is fantastic. I have plenty of ideas using this technique.
I had a few leftover rings and made a simple pair of earrings.
In addition to the sunburst kit, my in-laws gave me the Nouveau pendant and earrings kit, designed by April Hannah Llewellyn.
I just love the colors -- so bright and fun! The earrings are awesome to wear.
I haven't worn the pendant yet because I haven't decided exactly how to build a necklace around it. The kit came with a chain, but I want to make something special, so stay tuned!
those big rings make such elegant chainmaille! really lovely pieces
ReplyDeleteGorgeous jewelry, maybe you could design something similar to the bracelet only narrower for your pendant. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Love the colors!
