Beautiful Handmade Statement Necklaces and other Fabulousness from Neena Shilvock - Inspirations and Designs From the Week Gone by

The Phoenix Rises, by Caprilicious Jewellery

29/1/2021

Hello folks, how are you? After a couple of extremely busy weeks at the day job, I have time off to chill at home - I usually save part of my annual leave allocation to visit my mother in India, but this year, I'm spending it at home. Late nights on Netflix and morning lie-ins are becoming part of my daily routine. I'd better not get used to it as I will soon have to go back and apply nose to grindstone. 
​Last week, I showed you pictures of La Fenice as it was being made, and this weeks I have pictures of it all finished and ready to wear. The necklace was made to commemorate the Biden/Harris inauguration and I have a poem written by someone who calls themselves the Dragon Ryder.

​Rebirth, by Dragon Ryder

​Spirit broken
                   
​                     Desire smashed
                                         
                                 Soul vanquished

 Willpower shattered
                              
                    Emotionally defeated
     
                               Hope overwhelmed                                                                   Craving destroyed
                        
                      Aspiration burst
 
                             Passion extinguished
 
        Ashes smoldering

                    Flame reignited
                 
                              Phoenix rising
                           
​                                          Rebirth!

As I said earlier, I've had time off, and Ms. Muse decided to play ball. After a couple of days where I did nothing and slobbed around on the settee, I started on my next piece. It started with the pretty lamp work glass nigella beads I got from Russia, and a few enameled flowers from Beijing. I decided to make a necklace in shades of blue and orange/red.

Day 2
And that's as far as I've got with this piece - as you can see, I've begun to add the greenery between the larger beads.  That's the bit that takes the most time as all the black felt board needs to be covered. No doubt the 'greening' of the necklace will go on for all of next week.
I've accepted a date on The Earrings Show on Facebook at the end of February and thought I'd make a couple of new pieces to take to it. Here's my first pair -I love the colours - what do you think?

That's me for this week, folks. I hope you have a great week, and I'll catch you next Friday, same time, same place, 
Until then

     I'm Neena Shilvock,  and I'm crazily addicted to jewellery.

    I've been designing and making quirky and interesting statement necklaces for over ten years and my passion hasn't cooled off one little bit - in fact it has got worse, such that I  even dream jewellery.

    I'd love to get to know kindred spirits like you, so drop me a line and I'll get back to you, and who knows, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship.
