I try very hard to create beautiful, unusual, artisan jewelry that meets a certain level of quality in design. Most of the time I succeed. Once in a while, I put something together, look at it later, and have the “what were you thinking” moment.
That happened with the first piece I made using the dark green drop at the bottom of this necklace. I think my mistake was trying to use the drop as a focal point by itself . It did not have the presence that it now has used in conjunction with the coin and wrapped wire. So, I cut the – shall we say – less than successful piece apart, let the green drop hang out for a while, got this idea, and tried again. The result is so much better. As we move into 2009, is there anything you would like to make over?
