How I Wear MY (new) PEACE of jewelry - Hooker Wear

John Lee Hooker, that is. Have you heard of him?
One of the best blues singer ever. Born in 1917 - Died 2001.
I like his music, so I purchased the shirt.
You definitely can't wear this to the office. Or can you?

 



Having just made MY (new) PEACE of jewelry NECKLACE

 
I was anxious to wear it. So I paired it with t-shirt. 
Available on Etsy
 
 
The necklace, I made using repurposed brass link chains, lucite oval beads, 
round faux pearl beads plus a foreign coin. It's a bib-style "statement" necklace.

I made earrings too; in fact two pairs of drop earrings.
I am not sure which are better.
When I sell, the necklace, I will include both pairs.

I am not sure which pair look better, but it's good to have choices.

    When I saw this, I had two instant thoughts. First, I love that shirt. Jazz is my Achilles's Heel. Second, that shirt needs a jacket of some kind, maybe a blazer? Then I scrolled down and sure enough, you paired it with a jacket.

    Perfect! Love it! :D

      Thank you Anna! I welcome any style tips. Please let me know in the future too. I am curious how others think what MY PEACE of jewelry can be paired with, i.e. blouse vs dress, jeans...

UPDATE a/o May 2012 Because I love to work with my hands and create a variety of things. I thought I could make my own mannequins.  I used the paper mache' technique to make my mine. See below for step by step on how to make your own WO-MANNEQUIN Materials : Grocery bags, wallpaper paste and tape. Tools required: brush, box cutter, plastic wrap Grocery bags Bags from my local store Wallpaper paste (premixed) purchased from hardware store Boxcutter purchased from hardware store Method : Papier-mâché technique What is Papier-mâché?

How to Choose the Right Earrings for your Face Shape

Image
I love to make jewelry; earrings included. But I have to admit not every style is right for every Woman. Depending on your face shape some earrings types are better than others. The types of earrings you wear should depend on your FACE shape. The four basic shapes are highlighted below. SQUARE SHAPE What is a square-shaped face? - sides of your face will be straight - face will be nearly as wide as it is long - your jawline will be defined, with only a minimum curve                                                                        - strong jawline                                                                      Best EARRINGS for square-shaped face - earrings with rounded designs - elongated earrings, especially under the chin line - dangling earrings - hoop earrings These styles are considered excellent because they add a softness to the facial angles *avoid very wide, bulky, square earrings Famous square-shaped  face celebrities

Getting started...

Image
I've been making or stringing beads together for years. I am not exactly sure how I started making jewelry. Oh yeah! I got started because I've always collected beads. I liked going to bead shops and bought beads that appealed to me then would place in empty pickle jars and store them on my shelfs at home. After a while I had so many beads that I needed to do something with them, which was the obvious - make jewelry. I bought some how-to books and that is how I got started. A few years back, friend of mine, who worked at Fox, encouraged me to let her sell my stuff at their Xmas bazaar. I was pleasantly surprised - I sold quite a few items. My friend was so cool. Here is a photo of the display table that she put together. Since then, I have never actually tried to sell my jewelry. But now I want to start. I created a catalog and the name of my jewelry line is MY PEACE of JEWELRY - pretty catchy. I don't have a website. It's too expensive and there are so many websites n
