Flower Mesh Necklace

Hello!  Today, I have a necklace to share with you using Positively Me - Julianna Hudgins Jewel Flowers & Flourishes Nestaboard (S5-143) from Want2Scrap and some beautiful 18 mm Silver Mesh from Artistic Wire.  This was my first time playing with the Silver Mesh and I had so much fun!  You can twist it, stretch it, fill it with beads--so many possibilities with the mesh!



Here is the necklace I designed.  I used Amber Shell Coins, Shell Beads, Champagne Pearls and 18 mm Silver Mesh.  The Shell Coins and Shell Beads have a look of pearl when the light hits them so the colors work perfectly with the Champagne Pearls and Silver Mesh.  The flower picks up both the dark tones in the Shell Coins, Shell Beads and the Pearls.





Here are a couple of close up pictures of the necklace.  To find all of the details and see more pictures please click HERE to check out my post on the Positively Me by Julianna C. Hudgins Blog.  I have a full step-by-step tutorial with several pictures to share with you on how I designed this necklace.



Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have a wonderful and creative day!

Hugs & Smiles
Heidi
