I wouldn't have come up with this if it hadn't been for you and Eric. Thank y'all for the inspiration. Your suggestions on how to "fix" the necklace are appealing, but there are other little issues I have with theCraftyHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341033878002504601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-40821674020747326462018-10-24T10:22:49.224-05:002018-10-24T10:22:49.224-05:00I LOVE the blue bracelet, but I also like the watc...I LOVE the blue bracelet, but I also like the watch face necklace...I know the feeling though, I go through that sometimes with my paintings...sometimes if I just step away for a while then go back and add 1 touch, it makes all the difference!

As for the necklace, I think it looks great but totally get that just because it looks cool in a photo doesn't mean it behaves the way you want. It's a great idea and there are some awesome elements. What about removing the misbehaving two clock faces and either just dangling the clock hands Sarajo Wentlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742024924082041494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-84933111568752716632018-10-23T13:34:31.151-05:002018-10-23T13:34:31.151-05:00I love the clock piece as is.

I am sure you will come up with a clock face design that you do love! The blue piece is a beauty.

The necklace design is quite striking, it's a pity there are "construction" issues and you don't like it so much but it's up to you to decide whether to keep it and solve the issues or discard it. There's no recipe, I've done both - coming up with a solution is gratifying, though bairozanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15480725582668681075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-24491104251499688262018-10-22T09:26:09.282-05:002018-10-22T09:26:09.282-05:00I love the necklace - it looks like a dainty lari...I love the necklace - it looks like a dainty lariat even if it isnt one. The way the three dials are arranged one below the other is poetic. But it is a pity if they turn as you say.

I also really like the watch necklace--but I totally understand the frustration of when something doesn't lay right, or just doesn't sing to you. I'm still learning the lesson of "if you don't like it, you're allowed to take it apart."
