Something new and different!

Mixed media jewelry has always been intriguing to me but I have only tried my hand at it a few times. It also requires that you have lots and lots of cool found objects, paints, trims, stamps and what-not around (or at least I think it does!) and space is at a premium in our house (we do live in 750+ sq/ft, after all). Some of you know I've been whining because of a creative slump (not to worry, I hate whiners, too!!) but the other day I finally tried pulling together a bunch of beads and fibers and such to create a new piece. Well... here it is! It didn't turn out exactly as I had thought but that's OK, right?? I'm thinking I'll keep this one to wear myself so it doesn't matter that much that it's a bit off-kilter :) I think it will be truly cool worn with an orange t-shirt and a jean jacket.

    It's gorgeous! I love the colors, and the strands are so pretty. This is an amazing first attempt for sure!

    I would have never thought of puttiing light blue with orange. It's gorgeous!

    I think orange and jeans would go perfectly! Did I mention Orange is my favorite color ;)
