Rainy Day Re-Designs

Rain, rain and more rain.
I was trying to get some new things done today, but these pieces were just staring at me, begging me for some attention.



I like this shape, it's different, and I think I like the stitching down the middle... but the chain is too big for the scale of the earrings. So I'm removing the chain to add a different one.







This new chain is the same shape and similar color, but much smaller, which I think works better (takes longer), but I'm still not sure how I like the piece, I also put the ear wire I think on the wrong end, I like the stitching facing the other direction. I'm not sure this one will make it to the final cut.








This necklace is very cool! But it wasn't laying right on one side, so it had to come apart! I had planned on re-doing it better, by attaching fabric to the back to make the leather more sturdy, but when I took the chain of it hung in a really cool shape, so I just added chain dangles to it.











This is just a cool photo! I did not leave the chain this long, because it is hard to keep from tangling, and just unwearable, unless you're just doing a photo shoot, and not planning on really moving.










This is the end result! It's very swanky on...














This piece definitely stands on it's own, so I tried to leave the chain very simple. But then I decided to make a little change.











I added 3 more chains on one side, and because of the asymmetry I had to add 4 on the other. I think the transition from the piece to the leather is so much better.
