I saw this advertised on Artisan Whimsy and decided I needed to try it. Why when I have a drawerful of my own jewellery that I have made for assorted events over the years do I need to aquire someone elses rejects to take apart and rebuild????
The picture on the left is what I got, .... the little picture on the top right are the two little bits of what I received that I didn't use of the necklace and earrings... Since I don't work with gold/brassI I actually had to buy brass wire to remake this. Bottom picture on the right is a close up of what used to be the tassel & the original chain, now woven with silk... the only brass beads that I owned (now threaded with blue seed beeds) and a torchfired enamel bead that I made for the necklace

| I looked at this for a long time beofre I started taking it apart... I actually liked it.... But I signed on to remake it so remake it I did! I used the tassle chain to lengthen the earrings and make the chain around the back.. I would have like more of the porcelain beads and two of the tassle cones but.... |

It's quite a transformation
Beautiful rework! I love cobalt blue, too.
Lovely job! Looks completely different.
Lynne, this is quite a metamorphosis from the original. You saved it and made it your own and beautiful. Love that you added your own enamel bead. Thank you for participating and I hope you will join us for the next one.
You did a great ob transforming this yet preserving the original light feeling.
I do believe we have a common love of that most mystical and lovely of substances...cobalt blue glass. You've done a great job with this necklace. You've kept its original beauty and added a modern and fun twist to it.
I think a lot of us lengthened the earrings with chain! You did a remarkable job on your necklace design too.
I love cobalt blue and this set looks amazing.
Fantastic redesign
Very nice - I'm a big fan of cobalt as well, and the way you reused the beads and added to them for your design really showcases that color. You also kept the design feeling light and airy with lots of unique design elements - beautiful job!
Gosh...what THEY said! Great color, beautiful work!
I am not a fan of gold, however the necklace with the sari silk looks really good. Great job with the do-over challenge, it looks like a lot of fun!
