TTIC 28 – The Wedding
Our challenge this week was selected by Margie of Oh Bumble is Me. Here’s what she had to say:
Craft: Create something inspired by Bella and Edward’s wedding. (Remember, Alice was the coordinator that consulted with Esme and Renee on most things to surprise Bella!)
Comment: What are your favorite things in a wedding? and/or most memorable ‘in real life’ or movie/tv wedding you’ve ever seen…?
I had a lot of ideas for this particular theme so I have a number of projects I’ll be sharing through out the week. I started off with a bride’s jewelry set. I know Bella isn’t much of a jewelry person but I Alice planned this shindig so you know there’s no way she’s getting down the isle without something.
I’m a huge fan of pearls and crystals so I made a very simple set that is a little out of the ordinary for wedding jewelry and somehow perfect for Bella.
For each piece I started with a simple sterling silver link chain. On the bracelet I hand wrapped the chain to a simple toggle clasp and added 11 hand wrapped cream freshwater pearls and 11 hand wrapped clear crystals.
On the necklace I created a simple “Y” design and hand wrapped 7 matching freshwater pearls and 11 clear crystals to create an elegant cluster.
Each piece was then oxidized to create the blackened antique finish.
