spotlight nine: golden flower necklace


 the outfit: top, my drawer? i really can't remember, it's been so long. it might even be considered vintage ;) skirt, thrifted; sweater, thrifted; belt, forever 21; shoes, ross, then altered by me (before & after pix here); earrings, renegade craft fair (can't remember the vendor's name - boo), and no, that little piece of gray crud is not part of it. not sure what happened there...; necklace, handmade/altered (used to be a guess necklace, with a big capital G where there is now a paper flower - some might question my priorities, but i say they are with beauty.)



golden flower necklace 
this necklace is part of my line of riveted paper flower jewelry, using various papers and various means of sealing them. this one was a page in a 1970s vogue brochure, and the whole thing was dipped in melted beeswax afterwards. i love the way the wax gives a little golden glow to it (also, the fact that we were shooting at sunset made the colors a little warm, too ;)



i love this yellow wall. especially the multi-tonedness of it as they keep having to paint over new tagging. and it's amazing when the tree in front blooms - it's yellow, too :)
