Glitz Lounge May Challenge and More Supplies · Jul 1, 04:46 PM

Just making a quick post today ‘cause my head hurts from my extremely tough workout this morning…(Our regular instructor, Wendy, for the 9am class at My Health Kick is on a 2 week missions trip in Alaska and her husband, Dennis, is sitting in for her and kicking our butts.)

So I just have two things for you…

 

A new necklace made for Glitz Lounge’s May Themed Challenge. (I’ll be posting this lovely for sale on the site later this week.) I had such a hard time designing this piece. I even started with a different focal! In the end, I kept thinking of plants and berries and how everything needs water to live and grow. So my quartz is the big pool of water from which the leaves (pearls) and berries (watermelon tourmaline) grew and blossomed a lovely flower (prasiolite.) Hence, La Dolce Vita!

The necklace is a total length of 36", which makes it great for matching with other necklaces, or doubling up as a focal layering piece. I took great care to space the little clusters of berries and leaves so they would somewhat line up when the necklace was doubled to its 18" length.

And…

More gemstone goodness! Can’t beat that for eyecandy. Now, off to get a quick nap…
