Art Jewelry Elements - Component of the Month reveal - Melissa

As soon as I saw Melissa's components for this month I was hooked.

This is a new venture for her and I will be supporting it with all my heart!  I can not believe how stunning her carving is.  I knew immediatly that I wanted to make a longer piece with this star.  I do not normally wear or make longer necklaces.  I wanted a simple chain but something different so I went out searching.

I ended up looking in old magazines and found this cute chain by Karen Price in the April 2007 issue of Bead and Button.  I still have to add the clasp but I am sooooooo happy with this necklace.


Thank you so much to Melissa for her amazing creativity that inspired me!

Lets see what everyone else has created

    Lovely ! Your chain is perfect for the carved star, just enough without over powering the pendant.
    I've not seen that particular rope pattern. Must look through my beading magazine stash to see if I happen to have that issue of Bead and Button. If not, I wonder if Karen Price has an online tutorial ?

    Wonderful combination of rich, earthen colors. This is surely a piece that will be worn often and with many different outfits.
