Inspiration

I recently bought a magazine and again noticed these trends:

Tassles, fringe, fabric cord, chain and feathers. 

   

And because I'm really a big fan of bold accessories, I instantly knew I had to make my own (Artegraphy) version.  Without leaving Cavite,  I managed to find this fabric cord,

and tassel in it's raw state.  After a few stiches, twisting, bending, here and there,,,

my very own statement necklace in Scarlet was made. Tadah! 

Still inspired with the designs I saw, I decided to re-do my used-to-be chunky bracelet made-into-a-necklace,  in a BOLDER neck piece.

Imagine you're not seeing the extra chain,,, it is/was a bracelet(before). And then I overcame the bracelet addiction and made it into a necklace.

After adding chains and orange plastic beads, I achieved this look.  Non ordinary-for-the-bold-only Artegraphy necklace :)

 But wait, there's more (haha!) I still have feathers from Expressions.  I bought it months ago for a different purpose (headgear day) but I guess it'll have to end up this way.  

Long chain feather necklace.

You'll find similar items in malls ranging from 200 to 500 for feather necklace and 50 to 200 for earrings.  They must be making a lot of money. Lucky me, I can make my own.
 Of course this is only a trial (using what I already have at home) but I hope to find the "rebonded" kind of feather in another color for another project (bib like feather necklace).  Will post the pictures once it's done.  

I'm a no fashion guru, just a practical kikay Momma, but let me give a simple TIP:
Buy all the basic plain top(s) in all colors and accessorize with bold necklace.  Depending on the lenght, it can downplay or highlight your features and/or assets chest and up. :D
