A cinematic influence or two...

 "Wicked Green"

(Necklace)   Price: $ 80.00 

Well, this necklace is the epitome of the 'definitive statement piece'. I was messing around with the beaten gold spirals and digging through my little boxes of odd bling bits, exploring an idea, when the big gold 'viking' knot sort of stuck out. I managed to put those together, but it looked a little hollow, so I started trying different bead combinations to see what worked. The vintage green glass ones made it glow, but I needed a bit of contrast to make the whole thing pop. That's when I added the double lobe of amber dyed Shells and the violet-dyed freshwater pearls, and the four tiny glass pearl ones. By this stage it was starting to get 'bigger than Ben Hur'. Old saying referring to the Charleton Heston movie that was a 1959 Hollywood blockbuster that had a cast of THOUSANDS of people in it, full scale chariot races, the works...quite a bit larger that their standard epics. Anyway, back from that digression, I added the my fave black hexagon Onyx beads and a few small glass ones, and it was really starting to remind me of Oz and the Wicked movie that was all over the place when this was created...and still is. Hence, the name of it. At the moment, I have a small box of collected bling bits in pink and sparkly things towards making a corresponding 'Glinda' or 'Wicked Pink' necklace. That hasn't panned out or come to any kind of creative fruition at this stage, but not for lack of trying. 

 

Meanwhile, thanks for stopping by,
