Blue & White Statement Textile Necklace

* Part of my new collection, this one-of-a-kind textile necklace is fun, lively, expressive, imperfect, eclectic, unconventional, genuine and simple, yet brave.

* Fabric, long strips

* no clasp, goes on over head

* fibers wrapped around focal coil

* measures 28 " from top to bottom, 17" from top down to first coil

* band at nape of neck measures less than 1/2" wide

* Due to the length of necklace, may be shipped folded or coiled

* To ensure this item will last, spot cleaning is recommended. Please do not shower, swim or bathe while wearing.  Due to handcrafting, no two items are ever alike.  Please expect variation in color, stitching and patterns.

Fabric, vintage buttons and colors speak to me, excite me, and shout of creative possibilities.  Even the smallest bits and pieces of exquisite fabrics are cherished and nestled away, where they wait to become an integral part of just the right project.

Hours of love and attention to detail went into this wearable art.  This necklace is accented with fibers, stitching, beads, buttons, charms, and two of my handmade fabric flowers, which I use whenever I can.  Hand-stitching as well as machine-stitching were used to put this piece together.
I loved making this necklace and I hope it speaks to you and your individuality. I hope you'll be proud to call it your own.  Perhaps this vibrant piece can become one of your favorites.

My Fantastic Blue Monday Mood!

Happy Blue Monday everyone! I'm in a fantastic blue mood. Thanks to Smiling Sally for hosting!!! You guys know I love my handcrafted flowers. The first flower crafted from vintage bridal satin is of Lucille Ball, of course. Who doesn't love Lucy? The 2nd is Chipette Brittany. I created that one for my daughter Taylor's birthday. The 3rd is Chipette Eleanor, which was made for my daughter Madison's birthday. I recycled one of my girls' denim jeans & created a wall pocket. I just love the country blue fabric. After making the flowers, I attached sticks from my yard to the back & this pretty is hanging on the wall of my kids' bedroom. Just love the little dream tag.

Now for the piece de resistance! With Mother's Day in less than a week & my Granny's birthday just 2 days after that, I was thinking of  my grandmother Mary. She's no longer with us, but she's remembered & loved more & more every day.

All of my flowers can be custom made. Whether you need a hair clip, headband or a brooch, I love custom orders. Just contact me & I'll do my best to create something special for you. 

Happy Blue Monday guys and Thanks for stopping by!
