MOTLEY OWL BLOG HOP REVEAL

I was one of the lucky winners of one of  Erin Prais-Hintz of Simple Truths Motley Crew Owls which she gave to Lorelei and she in turn gave them to 5 winners.  This is what I created with my owl.  I used seed beads and freshwater pearls on one side and made a little loop that would accommodate my button.  On the other side I used more freshwater pearls and some of my sweet pea sparkle beads and finished it with a sterling silver hammered ring.  For the back of the necklace I used beautiful handmade silk ribbon by Silk Life Studio.  I finished this side with my own lampwork button and wrapped the silk with silver wire.  I hope you like him.  Check out the other owl designs through links at Lorelei's blog HERE.

Thanks Lorelei for hosting this fun blog hop.  I had a great time designing this necklace!


Enjoy your day,

Raida

    Raida your necklace is lovely - the beads complement your owl perfectly with gorgeous colours and textures. He looks like a it of a live wire and your design is totally appropriate.

    The colors are great, and the pearls are a perfect contrast to the glass. What a cheerful necklace :)

    Ooh! Miss Raida, I am in love with the colors in your palette! I love the way your sparkle beads work with the twinkle in this little fools eyes. There is something fun brewing in that little feathered skull of hers. Thank you so much for participating in this little blog hop. You are a 'something good' today!
    Enjoy the day.
