Challenge #1 is done, here's Lucy's Dragonfly Necklace


Added a little butterfly to the end of the chain and we are done!
Hmmm, wonder what the next challenge will be...

Lucy's Bugs

Lucy loves her bugs, so now her big dragonly has a little dragonfly buddy and a butterfly! Here are all of the charms hanging off of the bottom spread out so you can see them. She also has two flowers and a leaf along with Freshwater Pearls, Jasper and Amethyst. I debated on shining up the Sterling, but I kind of like it like this. I'll leave it for her to decide.


Almost done!

Getting more goodies on Lucy's Necklace.

Art Nouveau Dragonfly Pendant

Here's my inspiration for Lucy's Pendant. I started this a couple weeks ago. Still staring at it to see where I should go next. Don't know what I'm going to do with the chain yet. This is just draped around the board a couple of times. But it's growing on me...

Don't know if Lucy will catch me showing this or not, but here's the start using all her goodies and I threw in the big Chalcedony.

Jewelry Challenge #1 - Lucy

I've given myself a jewelry challenge. Shown is some of what my wonderful hairdresser Lucy gave me. She has lots of jewelry that she no longer wears. Little does she know, I'm going to have some fun with it. She has the cutest Sterling Dragonfly that was a pin until I chopped that and his little legs off! (sorry little dragonfly, you'll thank me in the end) She also had various necklaces and bracelets containing Amethyst chips, what I believe are dyed Aventurine, possibly Amethyst, beads and freshwater pearls. I've added the large oval Chalcedony bead. I'll probably add chain too. I already have an idea in my head, let's see if it works out. I'll keep you updated!

My glass pendant with wrapped wire. First try!

I have this beautiful glass bead that this picture does not do justice to. You should see it held up to a window! It's held in wire wrapped steel with a patina finish on a black leather cord. This one's mine but I will be uploading a similar one to Etsy soon where you can purchase it. Let me know what you think. Go to my Etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/DemarisJewelry
