Sari Blog Hop Reveal

If you are looking for my bead soup post, please go HERE

So... here we are... the day of the big reveal :)  I had a lot of fun with this one, I am coming to just love the look of the sari ribbon... soft, elegant, romantic... and has the potential to be deliciously fun and boho!  So, you may ask, how did I decide what to do?  Well, I actually had two pieces I wanted to do, but the necklace... still isn't there yet, so I am going to show you all the piece I did do :)

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I present "Hope and Chocolate"...


I know what you're thinking... what a weird name, right?  Well, when I was making it, I just had to put the pinks with these chocolate-y browns... and the color so does remind me of semi-sweet chocolate.  As I sat there and thought about cancer and oddly enough, chocolate.  I thought well... hope is a bit like semi-sweet chocolate... hope makes things that are bitter and hard more bearable.  It gives us the strength to make it through things, it gives us a reason to keep going.  And... there I go getting all romantic and sappy lol.  Alright, here are a few other pics, I really love how this turned out!

Most of the brass on this is by Fallen Angel Brass Co., all of the wire and the headpins.  The charm is Vintaj though.


I don't know what it is about the fraying on the ribbon that is so appealing, but it is.  I think it softens the stones, softens the wire... sweetens it.


Love it!  I hope you love it too!  :)  If anyone is interested, it is now up in the shop!  http://www.etsy.com/listing/83877684/hope-and-chocolate-breast-cancer
Now, go on and check out the rest of the hop!  So many fabulous participants!

  7. before even go to the part where you named it I thought is was a comforting, soft and very appealing piece that would make anyone feel pretty. The name you gave it sealed the deal. Lovely.

  15. Beautiful and romantic bracelet! Pink and brown is such a good combo (partially the reason why I can actually use pink sometimes as I'm not a "pink person"). The bracelet feels very warm and vibrant, positive.

    I like that philosophy on hope and chocolate too.
