But first ... I wanted to share this lovely custom silver bird's nest necklace on it's way to Natalea! I spent a good chunk of my blog break studio time weaving more nests for the secret garden portion of my shop. They are all back in stock (except for one) and I now have some with white/cream "eggs". I should have the pics of the white ones uploaded in the near future. I've been spending much of my free time trying to get my Etsy shop off the ground. Not having much luck yet, because there is SO much competition in jewelry, but I'm not disheartened yet!
And here is my Tudor inspired collar! I picked a really rich red color and crocheted it with a wonderful complex lace pattern. The front is embellished with some large white pearls. I think it looks very regal! Worthy of any of Henry the VIII's queens! 
Wait, one more thing :) My friend Michelle at Hold Dear is having the most awesome swap. A mermaid and seaside inspired swap featuring mermaids and all the bounty of the sea. Sign-up closes on Jan. 14th though, so hurry!
Your jewellery is fabulous worthy of the Tudors and the rest of us:)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day

Your bird's nest is GORGEOUS! And your crocheted color is beautiful - what stunning work you do!
ReplyDeleteYES! You may certainly do digital artwork for the blog challenge! =) I am happy you wish to join in!
the necklace is great! ever thought of making a ring like it? (I'm a ring type of gal...lol...)
ReplyDeleteThat collar is gorgeous! You'll have to take a picture the next time you wear it!
ReplyDeleteThe crocheted color is perfect for Valentine's day. I'm afraid I'd wear it with a scoop neck white tee and a pair of jeans!
ReplyDeleteLove the nests, too. You are so talented!

Bella darling, very pretty work. Now that I've gone on another blog fast, quite unintentionally, I have lots to catch up on here!
ReplyDeleteI love the necklace and the collar is amazing. I have missed that show but I really want to see it.
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend and I were obsessed with watching The Tudors, it was an amazing program and I can't wait for the next season!! .. the collar is so gorgeous, I can knit and trying to teach myself how to crochet but I'm finding it a lot harder than knitting.. but apparently crocheting is meant to be easier than knitting?
ReplyDeleteYou should crochet more collars and sell them! .. I'm going to be making clothing soon and would love to do some sort of collaboration!!
What wonderful things. I love the robins nest, it is beautiful.

Heather,
ReplyDeleteI did get your email and your sweet comment on my blog. Things have been super crazy here and I have left SPECIFIC Instructions to Cupid (hubby) to get right over there and order me that jewelry! Now you make the decision tough, what color eggs, pink, blue, or white! I love the silver you did for Natalie, I want silver too! If you don't hear from Cupid in the next day or two email me cause I really want the goodies!
The bird's nest necklace is so beautiful! I really love that chain with it.
ReplyDeleteNeat treasures, Heather! You just keep on with getting inspired by these period movies -- we love it!

I am sure if Anne had been wearing your collar, she may well not have met her fate the way she did, Henry would have been captivated -it is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSo is your jewelley!

That is my next favorite time in English history. I watched Elizabeth on DVD again. Wonderful! Oh, my first favorite time in English history is the Regency Period, 1810-1817
