Whew I have been through computer hell this morning! I was going to get this all written yesterday but we ended up taking longer on a day trip than planned. It seems that thinking I could get this post all done and out first thing this morning was not what my computer had in mind for me. Anyway on with this awesome reveal!
So this month it was Melissa's turn to make pretties for us to play with and boy she did not disappoint!!
Melissa works with and enamels metal. I love enameled metal. All the beautiful color blends that come from torching glass! Most of you know that I am totally not allowed to play with fire as my family still wants a home to live in, so I am truly fascinated with those who can play with it.
I love hearts and in fact they have come back into play in my creating as of late. So you know when I got this I was beyond thrilled (although once again in my excitement I forgot to get a quick pic before she was a necklace!)
As soon as I saw it the colors popped for me. And actually I cheated a bit. I had made this chain a while ago when I had yet another idea for twins (you know I love those two hole wonders) and the colors I choose were classic me.
Black and Pink!
I was so happy that the pendant and chain were a perfect match. All I had to do is bail it up.
That did not go as quickly as I planned but I love love love this piece. Thank you Melissa! Now lets go check out what everyone else did!!!!

Beautiful job, my friend! The beaded necklace makes the frit colors pop!
ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled you like it!!! I love all the work you put into this!!!!
DeleteOk Kristen, as usual, your designs just make my jaw drop! Gorgeous-ness all around :-) And the adorable hearts from Melissa - love them all! I'm w/you on the 'playing w/fire' in the house or garage - I'm kinda banned from that w/out 'adult' supervision as well! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteMelissa you honor me every time you comment!
DeleteI just bought some of the 2 hole wonders and want to create something with them. Love the beading!
ReplyDeleteYou will love them!!!!
DeleteOh my gosh the bead woven chain is beautiful and compliments the colors of the heart wonderfully! I'll bet it's a very comfortable necklace!
ReplyDeleteI know I couldn't have planned it better!
DeleteVery pretty Kristen! That necklace is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!!!
DeleteWhat an amazing stash of projects and work you must have when you can put your hand to the perfect compliment! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is so overwhelming Jenny!
DeleteFabulous! I love that ropy strand, the nubbliness of it goes so nicely with the frit on the enamel!
ReplyDeleteI can not wait to wear this one! Thank you!
DeleteThey were made for each other! I do envy your patience (and eyesight) for working with seed beads, it's a beautiful necklace!
ReplyDeleteJust like I admire your ability to turn simple clay into gorgeousness!
DeleteWow - I just adore those fire enameled components!!!!! And you, of course, matched it perfectly with your beautiful rope. Love the rope style too!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy piece! Your heart pendant reminds me of my favorite glazed cookies from childhood, complete with sprinkles!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable component to be working with, you were indeed blessed. Your beaded rope goes perfectly with it, both in colors and in texture. It is truly a fantastic piece and I bet it will receive many, many compliments each time it is worn.
