What a honor! A fellow designer not only loved my green agapanthus scarf, but also crafted a necklace to go with it!
A extraordinarily talented illustrator and designer, Karyn Lewis started creating jewelry in the past couple of years. When I heard what she was planning, I couldn’t wait to see what she was going to come up with! In her blog post where she shares her project she writes:
Now that I’ve become obsessed with jewelry, family and friends have started receiving some of my work as gifts. This year for my sister’s birthday, I did something different. I knew that I wanted to send her a yummy floral print scarf from Rotem Gear Limited Edition: Apparel for the Global Tribe. In a lovely earthy green, the scarf is made out of a super soft burn out material, and features a silhouette of an Agapanthus (Lily of the Nile) plant, which shop owner Jean Roth developed from an original photograph in her line of botanical photography.
Then I made a necklace that I thought complemented the scarf. I knew I wanted to echo the earthy green and the spiky graphic floral on the scarf, so when I found Earthenwood Studio’s Leafy Tree Pendant, I felt I had a good pairing.
I surrounded the pendant with betel nut seeds, earthy green stones and brown Chinese Writing Stones. I also threw in a couple garnet beads too. And happily, as you can see above, the necklace fit my sister perfectly!
I love the beautiful layout in her photograph!
