This photo a parure consisting of large assemblage necklace, cuff and long dangling earrings by Brenda Sue Lansdowne of B'sue Boutiques. It employs things from our website, as well as some very special vintage repurposed goods. " Most interesting to me as the challenge developed, however, were the varied ways our members in both groups used materials to make their sets of jewelry. This lovely mix of brass stampings and chunky handmade polymer clay sunflowers was made by artist Irene Hoffman of Heart's Dezire and was made for the Bohemian Vibe mixed media/clay group. Monica Rangne of MockiDesigns at Etsy submitted this parure of many pieces.....actually, a 'grand parure' using mostly stampings in mixed finishes from B'sue Boutiques....over the top, effusive, and oh so Mocki, who is always true to her own style as an artist. Jann Tague of Clever Designs went Boho with the use of brass stampings, clay and fiber. creativebeadchat.com
