JAN ABS Garden Nymph Necklace with Vintaj, Swarovski and Czech Glass

This is my entry in Art Bead Scene's January challenge, the theme of which is inspired by William Morris's Trellis Wallpaper, which features soft moss green and a baby pink which reminds me of Betsy Pease Gutmann's paintings of babies and children.

 

This necklace was not created specifically for the ABS challenge, but I think it's garden/floral theme reflects the themes and colors in the challenge theme very nicely.

 

I created the pendant focal using an image transfer method for polymer clay. The digital image was created by Lynn Palazzo using one of the famous Victorian "Flower Girls" (Lynn, I hope you don't mind me using it again, it is still my favorite!).

 

I framed the pendant with antique brass finish filigree and Vintaj components. Keeping to the floral/garden theme, I added Czech glass roses in a delicate blush pink color; Swarovski Vintage Rose crystal bi-cones and Swarovski Sand Opal Rounds; and tiny, luminescent glass seed pearls. I also added Vintaj Natural Brass floral end caps, a bail created from Vintaj's Fanned Trellis filigree embellishment; and created a chain using Vintaj Blossoming Duet fastenables.
