What if that something was shiny & sparkly & dainty & oh yeah by the way, you were about to attack it with pliers & clippers to rip it apart!!!?!!!
I love working on commission orders!
I am also equally terrified of working on commission orders!
(love & fear go hand in hand right??)
{Idea No1}
{Idea No2}I wonder how she wore the brooch?
Did she pin it on the lapel of a sharp suit
or use it to perk up a little black dress?
Did she only wear it for special occassions?
Did she meet someone of importance while she was wearing it?
{IdeaNo3, or is it 203??}
Continuing to weave my magic I hope & pray that the client will love what I did with her Grandmother's memory!
Taaa Daaa...
{The final Collage Necklace!!}

super gorgeous!
Oh my gosh - gorgeous! I'll bet you were scared. Actually I did have a commissioned work a couple of years ago and was a total mess about restyling the stones. Quite the nerve racking situation. :)
Oh wow, what a beautiful idea, both in aesthetics and in the memories it has for the customer.
You totally know your art...I thought option 1 and 2 looked very good -- but next to the final collage, there's no doubt which was the best choice! The final result looks simply wonderful!
You did such a great job, I can only imagine how terrified you must have been and how proud you must be now that its all finished and looking BEAUTIFUL :)

Beautiful! I would be sooo nervous...you did an amazing job. She gave you gorgeous pieces to work with too. Very fun.
omigosh you are so ridiculously talented! It makes me really wish I had an heirloom piece to send you! Guess I'll just have to be on the lookout at garage sales and flea markets from now on!
Oh my word, it turned out magnificently, sweetie! She must be thrilled with the outcome.
I can just imagine how nervewracking it is to work on special family heirlooms such as those. At the same time, what an honor!
Well done and bravo!
xo
oh that would be so scary to have to alter someones beloved items
but i feel like most things that have the greatest reward require overcoming the most fear! lol
great job.
i wish i had stuff i could send you to work on :)
I'm fairly certain that she was elated with the beautiful result!
It's really beautiful, truly. I feel the same way when I am given a tattered photo or map. I'm terrified before I begin, but then the work just takes over.

haven't really tried this yet - just reading about it gives me the heebie jeebies!
What a lovely post! YOu were very courageous but great things come to those who do not fear to tread yonder! Check out my blog today - you have a lovely surprise.
I never, ever, in a million years would have known how to put those beautiful pieces together without screwing it up. you did such a magnificent job. That's an incredible piece!
Dearest Jo, you're so rad. Have a great holiday weekend!!!
