Hats Off Challenge Reveal

Here we are...and here's the story...

First Hat...

"Made With Color"
My first thoughts... to attract admirers wear a beautiful hat, or should I say necklace?  This crisp and colorful necklace all started with the floral centerpiece.  I've always had a passion for French Seed Beaded flowers.  It seemed to be the way to bring all those wonderful colors together.  Flowing from the centerpiece are two strands, one is a green matte agate with crystals, the other is the wonderful apricot stick pearls... just had to use them (kind of like the feathers in the hat).  On the opposite side is a filigree topped with a vintage accessory piece.  I think this necklace has a fun and bright personality!

Second Hat
 
"Three Little Words"

I love pendants that tell a story, and this one started with a butterfly, which was printed on rice paper and adhered to the back of a vintage chandelier crystal using Diamond Glaze.  Then the collage began with filigrees and bits and pieces assembled together, and finished with crystals (got to have some bling).  Paired together to be something meaningful, mixed with nostalgia.  A match made in Heaven. :)

Well, that's all folks!  Many thank-you's to our Hostess Bobbie, from Beadsong Jewelry, for such a fun challenge for us all to participate in!  Be sure to visit all of the particpants.
