Why Not?

After I colorized some brass this week, and it finally dried, the fun began. The lady and the connector piece between the heart focal and the chain is old brass from my sister.  The heart, silver pearl chain, bead caps and jump rings are all from B'Sue

I worked on the lady first, adding flat back pearls and crystals from my scrapbook supply stash. Those choices created the color scheme. I had just enough of BSues lovely pearl chain, along with some cornflower blue beads from my stash. I wanted something different for the clasp...I had salvaged the old fashioned clasp from somewhere. 

Bonus photo!  I'm using an app for blogging since I only use my iPad for all computing needs. Well, I got some learning to do since I'm unable to remove a pic once I add it in. 

I had a "why not" moment the other day. I make jewelry for me and to give away. So, ya know, a girl only needs so much. If I don't need it, no point in making it, right?  Wrong.  I can make it just because, or even to donate it. This little necklace came from that decision. I used a round "bracelet blank" to collage a small image from a Mod Podge paper pack, little goodies laying on my work table, a bit of AB rhinestone chain, a few beads...done!  The rolo chain and tiny bow are BSue, too. So simple. 

Today I have a few painted pieces ready for their make-up. So, if you'll excuse me...
