Today I'm partisapating in Jeannie of JKD Jewelrys Do Over Ugly Challenge Blog Hop, Basicly we were all sent a piece of old jewellery in need of a make over.
Here's what I was sent....
I feel bad about taking such an awful before photo, but I was in such a hurry to get started that I did not check the pics before I took it too bits!!!
I would like to say a huge thank you to Jeannie for letting me partisapate, I learnt alot about the colors I like to use and what I do and don't like useing. Basicly I don't like red/orange it did not go nicely with my silver so I had to use copper instead, which is not realy me, I'm a silver girl through and through, but its nice to have a bit of a change now and again....
I managed to break the cats eye pendent while attempting to wire wrap it(seems wire wrapping is alot harder then it looks), and I did not like the little brass flowers so just worked with the crystals...
Here are the other people partisipating....

You managed to really rework this and turn it into something very original and unique. Love the wire work.
ReplyDeleteThank you Niky for participating.
I admire your wire-work. I think Jeannie did a wonderful job of challenging us to think out of the box. The edged bracelets are so popular right now! Beautiful bracelet.
