new summer look for blog

This summer I will be working on a Round Robin Book Project centered around Marie Antoinette. I thought it might be fun to change my blog to go along with that theme. I found this cute background and banner here. Of course I will be posting pictures from the project as I go along.



This RR book project will be a little different than the norm. We won't be sending around entire books...we just send out our own pages to all the participates, they work on them and send them back to us. It is really more like a fatbook exchange of pages, but still should be fun. I've already received my first page to work on, but first I have to get mine ready to mail out!

round robin necklace ~ for Darlene

Here is my offering for Darlene's Necklace with a theme of "anything goes". I loved her pendant focal piece and wanted to do something that tied in with it.I made a little wire heart and hammered it flat then made a little staple to hold the key on with. I decided not to polish the wire, but to just keep the dark feel going. Below is her necklace so far, I was the 4th person to work on it.

round robin necklace ~ for Suzanne

This is my charm addition to Suzanne's "Natural Beauty" Necklace. Copper wire, a few feathers and two odd shaped little pearls.Here are all the additions to her necklace so far.
