Chrysanthemum pendant for my mum

I made this flower pendant for my mum's birthday.  It was my attempt to go bigger and bolder, so I made it with thicker gauge wire.

BEE'S CHRYSANTHEMUM

Natural AquamarineSterling Silver Hammered Flower Pendant

This pendant is a variation of my Jewelled Flowers tutorial with double petals.  I shaped the petals around my round nose pliers and coiled very pale blue/green aquamarine beads around the centre. The pendant measures approximately 6cm in diameter.

Guess what? Yes, more flowers!

I know it's been absolutely ages since I blogged.  This time of year is always a busy time for me with lots going on at work, a number of family birthdays, the odd holiday and weekend away.... I could go on, but I won't.  I'm sure you get the idea. 

Anyway, I thought it was about time I shared some of my most recent flowers based on my Jewelled Flowers and Wire Flowers designs:

GENTLE DAISY

Prehnite, Fine Silver & Sterling Silver Hammered Flower Pendant

SOFT DAISY

Scapolite Sterling Silver Hammered Flower Pendant

PURPLE DAISY CHAIN

Amethyst Quartz Sterling Silver Wire Flower Necklace

PRETTY DAISY

Pink Amethyst, Fine Silver & Sterling Silver Hammered Flower Pendant

Flowers, flowers... and more flowers!

Recently two jewellery designers:  Bobbi (from My Wired Imagination) and Diana (aka Lady Mockingbird) made some wonderful flower jewellery as variations of a couple of my flower tutorials.  Their beautiful creations inspired me to revisit my flower designs...

VIOLET DAISY

Amethyst Sterling Silver Hammered Flower Pendant

My daisy flower was inspired by Bobbi's flowers where she has fixed a Swarovski sew on bead in the centre of the flower. It got me thinking how I could do this with a coin bead. These are Bobbi's wonderful flowers linked together as a bracelet.  I love the sparkly centres and the clever way she has joined the flowers together.

And here is a beautiful copper flower pendant from Diana.  I love the way she has coiled the petals and the copper goes so perfectly with the green centre.
