Bling It On

Bling It On Baby was the theme of our last project! We met at Sheryls lovely home and had a light lunch followed by a dazzling display of stones, chains, tools and crystals of many colors. Our objective was to create a necklace or a bracelet with our heavy duty chains and components from the hardware store. We had our inspiration in front of us (a cool bracelet), by the one and only Marlaina Stone. She and her team are based out of the detroit area and are known for their unique oversized radical designs. With that being said, we were so excited to go out on a limb to see what we could create. We had so much fun, I think we stayed until 5 or 6:00 p.m.

Thank you Sheryl for our fun filled afternoon and creative inspiration!

Kimmies oh so pretty design was made with some old necklaces she wanted to recycle. She ended up with a new updated piece she will now wear. I can just see this design with a crisp clean white t-shirt,  a pair of jeans and some awesome heels.

 Betsys deisgn is so pretty with the oversized blue crystals, and genuine freshwater pearls. This color combination can be worn with just about anything. Way to go Bets, we love it!

Sarah is blinging it home with these pretty bronze oversized crystals, clear crystals, pearls, silver chains and oversized lobster clasp. Love the colors!

 Speedy Sarah made a couple of bracelets. Here she used gold tones with browns, bronze and blacks as her color scheme. Oh so pretty, may I have one?

 I (Tina) made a summer themed bracelet consisting of brightly colored agate, pink jade, pink crystals, silver chains and a large white genuine pearl for added interest. Can't wait to wear mine.

Here I took and old necklace Kimmie gave me and tore it apart, added oversize clasps and voila. I absolutely love the simplicity. Kind of feels like a summer piece or a boaters bracelet. Should I add more? I think I will sit and ponder awhile on that one.  I think having your inspiration in front of you works, but it's always fun to make the project yours, by adding stuff or taking away from the design or putting a twist on it "to make it your own". Stay with us to see what's next for the Lovelies, we are always up to something good.
