I enjoyed reading your process and just love your creation of a holiday set that is so opulent but doesn't scream "Christmas jewelry!!!!". <br /><br />Your recent cuff article was great, too!

I think her freedom of spirit appears there, and your necklace reminds me of that part of her.<br /><br />I can't begin to comment on your making of the pieces. I have no experience in that. But the results, I can say, are remarkable and truly unique!Sharylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290002867469159820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337536192952816162.post-14541355025280284092011-11-22T15:21:29.157-05:002011-11-22T15:21:29.157-05:00Wow - that took some work!

I love that you persevered. I am working on a custom made stamp for my simple truths that I think I have carved 6 times. Hopefully this last one will be right. I need to get started on something for this challenge. Thanks for the reminder!<br />Enjoy the day!<br />ErinTesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337536192952816162.post-45103474671177345992011-11-21T04:52:55.191-05:002011-11-21T04:52:55.191-05:00Oh my Christine!

Big grin on my face, but also frowned eyebrows from concentrating on getting it all. I love the result also. Particularly the earrings. They are wicked, wild and beautiful. The great thing about the necklace is that your polymer beads/links look so wild and untamed. In opposition to the air of high cultivation in the painting. That is on the surface of course. I spoke about that in my own blog post about my piece. I think you have however managed to capture the inside sense of it all. What the pre-raphaelites sort of adored (oh, I can't find the right words in english this morning, sorry, hope you understand my intentions anyway). The contradiction between wildness and nature, and the human culture. Or, at least, that is how I see it.<br /><br />Always such a pleassure,<br />MalinMalin de Koninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08479961009540756244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337536192952816162.post-39082940607970478652011-11-21T00:38:19.926-05:002011-11-21T00:38:19.926-05:00Exceptional work, Christine!
