It's All About the Numbers

It's all about the NUMBERS!

I've always loved creating with numbers & time elements so you can imagine the fun I had with this piece.

If you know me well, you know how I love creating my jewelry pieces symetrical so this necklace kept me challenged to work asymetrical! I love the overall look of this necklace. The pieces for this necklace were collected from all around me. I cut up an ordinary wooden ruler, aging it with Ranger Distress Inks.

Here is a watch face I gutted to make lighter for wearing but glued the numbered faceplate in place. Misc beads were used, heck what's a necklace without beads? The metal numbers were drilled top & bottom to add jumps to string. Vintage silver & antique chains were added for interest.
Here I used small game pieces that I drilled a hole through in order to string. On the ruler is a paper ruler adhered to the wooden ruler section. Using a Crop-a-Dile, I punched my holes & set my eyelets in the ruler for a finished look.

From the ruler section hangs a Vintaq brass plate with vintage bingo game marker glued to it using Beacon Adhesives, Quick Grip. Again, I really like the way this piece turned out. This piece was inspired from a necklace I saw while flipping through a bead magazine & my love for numbers.

I love it!! I know how hard it is to work to work asymmetrical. It must be the graphic designers in us. I am the same way.

How totally unlike so much of your other work. The assymetrical design really is impressive

Trisha & Pat....this necklace went totally against the grain. I found myself trying to "correct" it. haha

Mary Ann, who sleeps anymore? Was up at 1:30 am giving glue baths to burlap! But then again, I'm not getting married soon like you are!! So much for YOU to do!
