Bobbin Drops is a playful
necklace in peyote stitch using a thread
bobbin as my muse. I grew up with a
mother that was an incredible seamstress
and quilter that I fondly remember
playing with wooden bobbins. Thread is
such an incredibly important material in
my own art and what better way to
celebrate it than with Swarovski rivolis
as the end cap and pearls surrounding
it! Three bobbins suspend from an
amazing new beaded bail that are strung
on an embellished hand-dyed silk ribbon.
Adding the ribbon seemed like a natural
fit in keeping with the seamstress
muse.
You have a variety of
options on crystal rivoli colors. Make
each bobbin end cap with a different
color or the top and bottom the same
with the middle one different. You can
also have three colors that are back to
back on each bobbin. You can choose
whatever combination suites yourfancy.
The bobbins will swing front and back as
you wear it.
Bobbins Bracelet
is a big, comfortable and classy
variation on the Bobbin theme. It is a
reversible bracelet. Seven rivoli
components on each side wrapped with 6mm
Swarovski pearls and are connected with
Swarovski bicone crystals. Make one side
subtle and the other side a party!
