Riley's valentine

I sent off a packed to the gills box to the Dumars today.  Since I made a necklace for Keely, I made a special card for Riley.  Here it is:

and a couple more Ruffle Statement Necklaces

These are for Julia and Keely for Valentine's Day

These took a LOT more ribbon than the instructions called for but I like how they turned out!

Statement necklaces

Wow a long time since I have blogged.  My Crafty Ladies group decided to make Statement Necklaces, and I downloaded 6 or 7 styles from web craft sites.  I had fun trying to duplicate each one.  I sent four to Julia and one to Keely.  Let's see if I can show you!

 Here is a rosette one, kinda like a corsage but attached to 2 strands of beads.

This is a steampunk style I actually made a while ago but didn't finish til now.

Here is a "sparkly bib necklace."  I call it a Cleopatra necklace - this one is for Keely.

This is a nautical take, a copy from the original by Anthropologie.

Lastly, I made a necklace of 3 "tropical ring" limpet shells from Costa Rica.
