Snowy Starry Necklaces


It’s been so snowy around here..and cold too! Although this season is not my favorite, the beauty of it all cannot be denied (photo from our backyard).

All of this whiteness…made into necklaces.

I used organic cotton batting as the base for both necklaces, which is sort of fitting since sometimes when the snow falls from the sky, the snow clings in clumps onto the tree branches…which to me looks like fluffy cotton balls.

Experiencing this little taste of what is more of a Summer scene…in Winter…feels strange and yet exciting at the same time.

Here’s a closer look at the snowflake necklace.

And here’s a close up of the star necklace.  Although I don’t see the stars at night as much during the Winter months (it’s way too cold to stand outside and gaze at the sky!), I still know they’re there…and this comforts me.

Since I made two necklaces, I would like to share one of them with one of you.  If interested, just let me know which one you’d like, and the first one to respond can have it.

  2. Your snow photos are beautiful. Normally I would not be happy to have such snow however this year I am so praying for snow and rain for California. We are almost petrified here. Your necklaces are the perfect reflection of the beauty of soft fluffy snow and with the stars and just a touch of bling they are exquisite. You are such a creative blessing dear…

    Thank you for the lovely notes ladies. And just to clarify a bit, Jeannette was the first one to respond so a necklace has already been claimed. But thank you for sharing your thoughts…I really like receiving your feedback.

  6. Darn, these ladies must sit and wait for your postings. I LOVE them both! But what’s not to love about all your beautiful lovelies. They perfectly represent our frigid temps.

    Stay warm and create more inspiration for us all,

    Your necklaces are a perfect comment on the weather you are ‘enjoying’ (?) just now, Becky! I love the photos of your back yard, everything looks so silvery and icy! Whether or no this is your favorite season, you did use the season to turn out some lovely comments on it in the way of jewelry!

  8. Driving home in the white out conditions tonight, it’s easy to forget how beautiful winter can be.. .especially when you can enjoy from the indoors! The picture you shared of your back yard is so pretty, as are your wonderful jewelry pieces.

    Those lovely necklaces are so heartwarming and beautiful Becky. And like you, although this is my least favorite season it is a wondrous sight to see the first glimpses of a snowy white scene-especially when the cardinals and chickadees come looking for food once it’s over. They know I take care of them all 🙂
