Love Is The Key Crystal Necklaceby Erin Siegel
It's February and I'm starting to get into the spirit of L.O.V.E! I made the above necklace just in time for Valentine's Day! I received these beautiful swarovski crystals from Artbeads.com. I'm not usually much of a crystal girl, but thought I'd give them a try. I'm so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone a little! These Siam red crystals and Alabaster white crystals here, are so perfect in this design! I love the romantic, vintage feel that the crystal brings. The red, translucent crystal beads add color and sparkle, while the white, opaque crystal beads complement my white porcelain pendant. For the necklace, I hand knotted the crystals along a double strand of waxed linen cord, in an asymmetrical pattern.
For the centerpiece, I pair my handmade Love Heart Porcelain Pendant with a small vintage key, tied on along with a red crystal accent.
For the back of the necklace, I created a bead and loop closure. I knotted a cluster of red crystals together to form a "beaded bead" of sorts on one side and a knotted loop for the other side.I really LOVE how my special Valentine's project turned out and now, I'm giving away my lovely creation! I hope you like it just as much because, I made this necklace especially for YOU.
I HEART all of you, my friends, my readers and my customers. And I most certainly L.O.V.E. your comments! As a THANK YOU, I'm giving away this necklace to one of you.
