OK I'll admit I don't have a clue what to post here.. I actually hate wrapping.. at Christmas I use an entire roll of paper then move onto the next roll... I do like curling ribbon though... so you won't see an image of a wrapped parcel here.. when I'm shipping parcels I wrap the entire item in packing tape ... an attempt to foil the post office... I'm sure Canada Post randomly checks parcels to see if they will float....
I decided that you would see my dyed seam binding necklace from Artisan Whimsy .. Karen Lackey of Starshine Salon posted a tutorial on dyeing seam binding on Artisan Whimsy in January, everyone who commented got 5 yards... I received mine while I was in Costa Rica so did not meet the deadline for the blog reveal so after many hours of making and unmaking knots this is what I came up with
SO I think I have the project and the challenge "All Wrapped UP"
I ended up braiding the seam binding 2 pieces of seam binding and 2 pieces of wimpy useless chain... (I tried to wire enameled components to the chain and it kept breaking.).. the enameled 'pendant' is hanging from 3 strands of chain, the clasp is an enameled poppy. (The pendant does look a bit like a lamp...)

Oh, absolutely beautiful! I love it - the colours are just sublime, and the necklace has such a perfect flow. Wonderful.
I love the colors...
Beautiful interpretation of being all wrapped up. I love your creation!
Beautiful necklace I love the colors I would say it is a wrap on that challenge!

I love the necklace and it fits the prompt just fine!
Binding, wrapping, yup that sure fits! Now that you said it looks like a lamp all I can think of is that ikea commercial "You feel sorry for the lamp?" this will make no sense I'm afraid..if you haven't seen it. Anyway, beautiful enamel as always :)
That is so pretty and I love the colors!
Yes, it looks like a pretty Tiffany lamp!
I need to make something with Karen's seam binding in the coming weeks too. Your necklace is so pretty.
That is a very interesting piece. It sure looks all wraped.
Great idea to braid the seam binding and the chain and what a lovely effect. Great necklace.
Love it Lynne! I've joined you in this challenge!
That splash of purple with the bluish greens is great. Such a good idea to braid the fabric with the chain.
A beautiful piece!!!! I love the seam binding--the color is just lovely, like the color of a shallow pool in an exotic place.
Very pretty! You have it wrapped up in ribbon, toO!
This was a tough one for me this week, too.
That's beautiful, I love the colors and congrats on getting it all wrapped up!
Great job "wrapping up" I love the necklace and the pendant....that is sooo cute!!! And the colors...so beachy, oceany and serene....
just beautiful - i adore mixed media jewellery and the colours you used are gorgeous :)
you did such a beautiful job with your fabric! and now that you mention it ... the focal does kinda look like a lamp - but in a good way. Like one of those Arts & Craft types (that I love)
What a fun necklace. I like how you wrapped up the chain.
The necklace is wrapped perfectly!
Beautiful color and the combination of light and dark really makes it pop. Great job!
It's always nice to have a project all wrapped up. I love the enameled pieces and the the aqua and purple together. Lovely!
Lynne your necklace is beautiful. It is certainly all wrapped up. I like the focal.
Love it. A great use for wimpy chain. :)
Love how the colors of the seam binding work with your antiqued chain. They really higlight your enameled components.
I love your necklace! The clasp is lovely and the colors work together beautifully!
Oh how pretty is this?! Gorgeous -and perfect for this week's prompt, too!!
Ooooh, pretty! LOVE how the end of the seam binding looks like wings.
Oh don't you hate chain like that. I am glad that you didn't let it defeat you because your necklace is dreamy.
