My metal flower necklace, “Bib in bloom,” is on the cover of the September issue of BeadStyle. Working with metals (and cup chain) is a departure from my usual gemstone-y style, but I couldn't resist the metal flowers when I saw them. Unfortunately, I ordered them and then let them sit on my desk for a couple of months. I was glad to finally turn them into a project!
By the way, the flowers are from The Beadin' Path and Ornamentea), and the cup chain is available at Michaels or Alacarte Clasps & WireLace.
I did a lot of trial-and-error with positioning the flowers, but the necklace was super easy to make. Check out the issue for a complete supply list and instructions!

I meant to tell you haw much I loved this. Truly gorgeous--looks luxe, yet one could actually do it oneself. A skilled "one" anyway. ;)
Great work, and it really pops on the cover.
I love this necklace! It's sophisticated yet a little boho. A-dor-a-ble!
Thank you! I really think anyone can make one....
Congratulations Naomi! The necklace is all sorts of pretty, and it truly makes for a striking cover. Bravo!
Thanks, and I hope the magazine-buying public agrees with you! Single-copy buyers... anyone?
Hi Ash: Please tell me you have this necklace and that I can borrow it. Super cool. Love it.
Mary Kate, maybe we can share it like in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Vraiment!
Just one word - stunning!
Oh to be so creative.
Oh and another word - inspiring....gotta try it

Anne, thank you! Once you play around with the flowers a bit, the design process is fairly straightforward. I'd like to try a version in silver, too!
