Marie Therese Necklace

Looking through my drafts and I found this old blog post 
with my first ever 
beading around a cab necklace. 
Thought I would post it today...

  I love Sophia Coppola's film Marie Antoinette

it's such a great source of inspiration with its 

macaron inspired

pastel costume colour scheme 

and of course its fabulous 

location in the palace of Versailles.

I re-watched it and just had to make something afterwards!

So this necklace is a flight of fantasy with the idea being that 

it could be a necklace that Marie could have worn with a 

cameo of her daughter (Marie Therese) attached. 

My very first attempt at beading around a cameo here! 

It's not a 'try it a few times then post it first attempt'.

It's a genuine first try ' I had no idea at all what to do attempt!' 

Which is why there are obvious flaws.

It was a learning project and it shows.

 That's all part of the fun though.

However, 

I am super pleased with the top half of the necklace 

and I can cut off 

the cameo dangle if I want to 

and wear the top half alone. 

Seems a shame to cut it up though. 

- I think I will keep it as a learning project. 

Nice to look back on these things :-)
