Art Yarn Necklace with Polymer Clay Rose Locket
This beautiful, romantic locket pendant necklace is called
"Dreams of Roses"
And was inspired by Victorian locket jewelry.
The art yarn necklace was made with hand dyed and hand spun Wensleydale, Gotland and Romney art yarn. It has several colours: heather purple, stormy sky grey, seafoam blue, dark wine red and greyish green.
From the necklace hangs a cameo locket pendant with a handsculpted cameo. The base of the cameo is black. On it a bouquet of red, purple and dark blue roses was sculpted. At the base of the bouquet sit a red and purple flower with crystal rhinestone hearts, from which grow twisty vines that entwine the bouquet. The whole scene is dusted with red, green, purple and iridescent white sparkly shimmer.
The necklace has 3 layers gathered together at the neck and stitched together.It is adorned with 2 glittered black velvet millinery flowers. The yarn is stitched together at the ends into a loop to fasten around a vintage pewter button.There is an end left on that makes the necklace pretty in the back as well, and can also be used to make an extra loop, should the necklace have to be made wider. The necklace is 46 cm around. The locket is 5 cm high, 4 cm wide and about 1,5 cm thick including the cameo.
A photo can be placed inside the locket.
The beautiful yarn was hand dyed and hand spun by the wonderful Suzy from
