Poppy Dreams (SOLD)
Well it took some chocolate and TV time, but I completed my second Poppy necklace in time for Memorial Day weekend! The first one I introduced a few days ago here. This second one is called Poppy Dreams. It came together just a I'd imagined it.
The focal is another version of Diane Sepanski's poppy series lampwork. I've also added fellow NW Washingtonian Ellen Dooley's red poppy lampwork. In fact it was Ellen's poppies that firmed up my design! The necklace is a beaded spiral using Miyuki seedbeads and drops as well as faceted Czech glass. I wanted to give the impression of flowers budding around one's neck.
