This was a super fun project for me! And it let me celebrate my birthday which is often overlooked during all the Thanksgiving festivities.
My partner for the Very Merry UnBirthday Party is : Susan Bowie
Susan creates the most wonderful jewelry !
Bet you want to see what was in it , don't you ?
Susan tells me the focal is leather with silver, copper, & Citrine embedded in it . Absolutely stunning ! The little transparent chips are Citrine and Carnelian. Also in the strand are Swarovski Golden Topas, vintage Black Onyx, and Czech Glass Crystals. All in all a wonderful, uplifting sparkly ensemble !
I love it ! thank you so much Susan !
When we made first contact Susan told me her birthday had just passed the week before . Very timely event to participate in for both of us. The birth stone for March is Aquamarine.
Meaning and Symbolism of the Aquamarine:
Faithfulness, courage and friendship
Awareness, quick response and easing communication problems.
Sure fits Susan !
When Susian checked out my Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/MowseMadeThis/posts/341870762564392
She spotted a necklace I had collaborated on with Sunrise Designs .
I love to work with objects I find on my strolls through nature. Adding polymer clay to seashells has held a fascination for me for sometime. My stockpile of seashells with adornment was over running the bead area. So I sent some to my friend to work with. This bead was among them ...

Ann took this bead and created a necklace with it using Aquamarine, Amethyst, and Swarovski Crystals. The fabulous result was
Messages flew back and forth between all of us. The necklace and matching components to make earrings were shipped to me quickly. I worked up a pair of earrings, and off the package went to Susan.
Thank you so much Ann / Sunrise Designs
It has been so awesome doing collaborations with you !
*note - I failed to get a closeup picture of the earrings I designed. They can be seen at Susan's blog.
This has been a fantastic celebration !

Mowse, glad you figured out what happened, so we could take a look at your beautiful creations. Just love the colors together on the aquamarine, and amethyst set.
ReplyDeleteI love them both! That topaz is so pretty, and what a great focal! On both pieces!
ReplyDeleteMowse, just saw a post on FB about your wonderful sea shell pendants and it led me to this blog post. Sorry I haven't been back earlier to see your beautiful work. Am sure you are both thrilled with your "Unbirthday Presents" and glad you came to our party.
