Northern Orchids

Long time ago, in my previous life, and on a different continent, I used to have a book called "Northern Orchids". I remember being intrigued in a book store – do they now have orchids that can grow up North? The book was full of breath-taking pictures of flowers in a rainbow of colors, with capricious fringed petals… Those were irises. I bought the book just for its title.

This is one of my favorite necklaces. No, this is the favorite one. I just sold it, and Letting it go is extremely difficult. There is something very special about this necklace. The design is really unique – I do not think I ever saw anything similar. The three focal faux cloisonne parts form an angle that makes the necklace fit very comfortably. I also made a pair of matching earrings for a complete set.

This necklace won an honorable mention at Mixed Media contest on Jatayu.com last year.
