March ABS blog tour

The March blog tour from Art Bead Scene blog is out.


My submission:

The following is from the blog post:

"I love the earthy feel of the necklace that Angela Lund-Logan made with a sweet birdie pendant.  The rich yellows and browns remind me of the forest floor and I love anything with a positive message!"

Live Bravely - March ABS submission

This necklace consists of varying shapes and shades of yellow on copper wire.  The antique copper lobster clasp connects to a spiral with a yellow bead at the center.  

I purchased the pendant from Pam and Heather Wynn's both at the Milwaukee Bead and Button show.  The pendant is attached by a handmade headpin that I enameled.  The bird seemed the perfect pendant for the inspiration piece for the message as well as the color and shape.
