Gothic Sutured Heart Necklace

Well I won another challenge, this time from Jenny Davies-Reazor a team member on Art Elements blog.

February Component Challenge was one of Jenny's Ceramic Sutured Hearts mine was a lovely deep red with black base and gold leaf highlights.



I love red so was very happy to receive the red one.

Now what to do.....

I did leave it a bit late starting but I ended up making some deep red and cream coloured spacer beads to go with the heart.

I found some resin black rose beads and some small red pearls and a few crystals. I decided on antique gold/brass findings and chain and my usual asymmetric style.

So here it is



I think I need to get it hanging to give it full appreciation and I have had to rush my photos this morning before work so they aren't as good as they could be.



I hope you can see it though!!

Below you will find the other participants as well as the team members links:

    I love asymmetrical designs and this is no exception :) I think that the subtle addition of smaller beads and findings in just three colors has made the pendant the star of the necklace!

      Thank you so much bairozan. I love asymmetrical designs and majority of my own jewellery is! I did want to make the heart the star so kept it simple...

    Elaine! I love the red paired with the white and black - and the roses are great! I would love to see it hanging- but I get it - the scale of the circle is perfect and I like the chain dangle as well! Thank you os much for participating! I love what you have done - and am so thrilled my idea resonated with others!

    Oh Jenny I really enjoyed coming up with the necklace with your gorgeous heart and I'm so pleased you like it.

    I didn't feel I wanted to write about hearts, but they are a favourite shape for me and I enjoy making them myself.

    A fun assemblage! I love a long layering necklace, and this really accentuates all of the components. Thank you for playing along!
