This big necklace is a tribute to my ancestors made for the Belle armoire Jewelry challenge .
You can see my mother when she was little, my grandmother, my great aunt, my grandfather.I've made fabric charms with old pictures of them embelished with beads and felt .
Picture 1: my dear great aunt Antonia...
Picture 2: an other beautiful great aunt, she died so soon, (21years old)
picture3:"une famille, une histoire"means : one family, one story"
in the picture 4: I've alterd a little light , you can see an old french coin (1936) , and my dauthter on fabric. On the copper plate,(thank you Sharon B) , it's wrote "Leur légende dans le sang" in english: "their legend in my blood,"
It's a very personal necklace .. I wear them my heart. I'm quite proud too, because i dit all myself (except the copper chain)and thanks to Sharilyn from " wire jewelry lessons" i've twisted the wire with her technic
I'm going on holiday in Spain, I would be back in 10 days.
Je vous embrasse!!! Bonnes vacances!!

So, so gorgeous my sweet Esther. C'est magnifique, tu me scotches sur place!
Pour le moment, je ne trouve rien d'intelligent à dire, à part, "ah oui,...". Donc, je me remets, ça te laisse le temps de passer de bonnes vacances, et à ton retour, j'aurais peut-être retrouvé l'usage de la parole...
Bisous, bisous, bisous, xoxo
