Feeling so NOLA

Feeling/mourning being away from New Orleans the past couple days.  Its withered hand clutched my heart and never let go... My two trips there were filled with visions and feelings. I hope I can go back again someday perhaps to live for a few months, to feel it more fully.

My feelings have inspired a few new pieces that I created yesterday, have a look:

Arena Creative

Studio Hot off the Press Friday April 9 2010

Both sets of earrings have the small silver caps on them now.

I changed the shorter 16 inch necklace (still 16 inch)

to be similar to the construction on the lime pop necklace.

another shot close up of the new one

Hot off the Press at Arena Studios for that Special Day!

Pictures of the work in progress:

Modifications to the long 18 inch necklace

silver chain

2 double pearl dangles

2 single pearl dangles

5 brushed silver floral dangles

lobster claw clasp

Earrings, created 2nd pair, added small silver cap to 2nd pair...do you like with or without?

pictures of loose caps shown in the photo as well.

picture 2

Made you two extenders/shorteners a one inch and a two inch

These can be used to lengthen or shorten your necklaces to give you the best flow and length. This will allow you to position them at the length that looks best for your dress!

You can lengthen simply by adding on a extender, you can shorten by clipping the lobster to anywhere on the chain.

The lobsters and chain match the necklaces.

Here is your 16 inch necklace

three brushed silver floral drops

12 pearl drops

silver chain with lobster claw closure

and here is a side by side of both

I had a great time working on these! I personally love the short necklace!

In the making for that special day

this is the 16 inch necklace and the center dangle is an additional one inch long bringing the front length to 9 inches from center of neck to end of longest pearl strand

The earrings shown with this piece have an upgraded sterling silver 925 stamped earwire (simple)

and the dangle is two inches long.

Here is an additional set of earrings that are shorter

The earrings have the upgraded 925 sterling earwires (same as above)

and the dangle is just over one inch long.

Here is a picture of the clasp on the back of the necklace.

What's new in the Arena Creative Studio?
