Okay, I LoVe this magazine. I love the cover. I love the photos. I love the inspiration. I have SO needed to create these past few days and this baby really motivated me to get the ball rolling. One of my favorite jewelry artist's work was featured ~ Deryn Mentock.
I really wanted to show a picture here of the beautiful treasure she created that inspired me to make my most recent necklace. BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY PICTURES OF IT ON LINE! Suffice it to say that it's on page 81 of Belle Armoire Jewelry Autumn 2010. You can get the magazine from Stampington.com or at Michael's or Jo-Ann's. It is SO worth the cost! (Thank you Mr. CBD for buying me the subscription!) Seriously, run out and buy it NOW!
I feel funny showing my necklace without a picture of hers (WaaAaayyyy better than mine, of course.) Okay, here's mine.
I also wish my photo-taking skills were a bit more polished (I'm getting there, s-l-o-w-l-y) because I really feel the necklace is nicer than it looks here, but oh well. I created it with a vintage rosary for starters. I added a cross I already had, a vintage Mary Katherine Kasper medal and a vintage rhinestone bauble. The glass beads sparkle beautifully, and they're hugged by vintage antique brass spacers. It's finished off with a toggle clasp.
I love creating with vintage religious medals and mementos. I'm Catholic and rosaries have always had a special place in my heart. When I'm wearing the necklace I feel like there are constant blessings being showered down upon me.
I really wish you could see Deryn Mentock's awesome inspirational necklace here. Go to stampingtonwholesale(dot)com and order the magazine for yourself!
Thank you, Deryn!
