Flowers of the Field Necklace & Earrings
© 2009 by Melanie Potter
Flowers have been the inspiration of much art, music and poetry. Their delicate petals and fragrant scents are a delight to gaze upon and experience. This fanciful necklace and earring set is full of blossoms in two sizes, stitched in chevron chain and peyote. Each petal is a movable component that is hinged from the center of the flower. The large flowers include a center pistil weaved in circular chevron chain and embellished with 2mm Swarovski crystals. The center of each flower showcases a faceted Swarovski stone. Leafage cascades between flowers stitched in brick stitch and chevron chain. The closure is a peyote buckle that snaps at the back. The matching dangle earrings can be made using either the smaller or larger flower.
