hey there show & tell friends! the weather in upper minn. has been unseasonably warm w/ little snow this season. no complaints out of me...but it's hard to fathom a year without one or two trips out on the snowmobile. best watch what i wish for! mother nature could very well be listening and have me in my snowbibs sometime in may!
better yet is the thought of the flowers that may brings! until then...i was inspired by a necklace that i actually brought in to sell @ patinaWHITE. so time for a little monkey see monkey do! but because i am so excited about how my version turned out...i'm starting w/ the monkey DO first! {see below}! a labor of love forging & shaping the metal...then adding the vintage rhinestone center + chain! i think i captured the rustic and organic "nature" i was after!
incase you might be wondering. this pretty girl {above}...as often in the case of some of my favorite creations...will be staying in my personal collection for the time being. but i will be getting some more in of her twin sister to offer to @ shady hollow. and what does her twin look like you ask? well have a little gander at the monkey SEE version {below}
and if you like her...you are sure to love the array of baubles on the horizon! i know i am particularly fond of the multi-tonal metal chains + pearls that create this long and lovely layer seen with my monkey do {below}
so the jewels are in full bloom and hopefully the spring flowers will be right on their heels! back to the matter of a little snow withdrawl....i suppose i could always spend a day in my snowmobile attire while gardening if i am feeling the need to get some use out of them this year! thanks for checking in and i will be talking to you again real soon!
have yourself a wonderful day!
