| Feather earrings by BayMoonDesign I decided early on that I would use the 2 feathers in earrings. I thought of using beads with them, but I decided to go all brass. I love the look of these antiqued brass, feather earrings. |

| Green Jasper Bracelet by BayMoon Design |
I wanted to use Irish waxed linen thread for the green jasper bracelet and necklace. I have a number of colors of Irish waxed lace on hand. I originally thought about using Forest Green Irish Waxed linen, but decided I wanted to brighten the necklace and bracelet and make them scream summer. I thought about the yellows in the photo. Well, I used a bright yellow to bring out the brass tones of the metal. The necklace was becoming very ugly! I then decided to use the Forest Green and I love it.

The forest green linen was a wonderful selection for the stringing material. It works well with the gemstone and the brass findings, beads and pendant.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty jewelry. The dark green linen ties everything together so well. I think you could wear this all year round even with the dark colours. I especially like the addition of white beads on the bracelet and your winged earrings are sweet!
