onent. I picked it up not knowing exactly what I wanted to make with it, and what I designed became one of those happy accidents! I'm not sure how long that first necklace sat on my bead board, but it was long enough. Half the problem was that I just wasn't sure if I wanted to go forward with the design. It was so different from anything I'd ever done. I'm an extremely symmetrical person, so asymmetry was a big risk for me. I was also mixing metals (rose gold and brass). This wasn't as foreign to me as asymmetry, but still a little challenging for my sensibilities. Little did I know that a bigger challenge was yet to come. I got great feedback after posting pictures of that first necklace on my facebook fan page. Most everyone loved it! I was so surprised when a girlfriend decided to buy it the day before I was to have a booth at our local annual Artist Walk. She wasn't able to pick it up right away, so I put it out on my table with a 'SOLD' tag on it. I can't tell you how many people were disappointed to find out it was sold. After about a month of 'Oh I wish you had more of those flower necklaces' I decided to go in search of more, and to my relief I did find more. I bought six and decided that once I made them into necklaces that was it. Two yellow roses, two black roses, one gold tone, and one silver tone are it. I've struggled for the last month not only to make those six necklaces, but also to make them all unique.Here are the newest versions of my rose necklaces!
