Miss Ta-Nia with the Zin-Nias


Nia-fl-ok4DSC_4916

We visited the Curious Gardener to catch up on happenings with her new plants and flowers not too long ago, which also doubled up as an outing for Miss Tania to visit her cousins - Cookie & April. Could she sit still for a couple of minutes for me to take a shot of her with the flowers ...... of course not. Clearly her attention was focused on what she was missing out on, keeping her eyes intently on what 'the girls' were doing, but I have to thank her dearly for the few moments of precious her time ;-)

The white Zinnias and yellow Marigolds (behind Miss Tania) were the inspiration for this sweetlet of a necklace.
A beautifully detailed enamelled Zinnia Pendant sits in the centre, from which hangs a pear-shaped 6mm Swarovski Crystal in Golden Shadow, 'capturing' the soft glow of the evening/dusk light gently. Trailing upwards along the golden chains are little czech fire-polish beads, white czech glass flowers (more Zinnias), Topaz Swarovski Crystal Connectors (Marigolds) and etched gold-plated leafy vines.
Length of necklace: 16.5" with an extension chain.

Methinks you should visit the Curious Garden once a week :) Not only is the necklace celestial, but the pic of Tania among the flowers is one of the best of her yet.

Ha ha Prue .... hope to visit CG again soon - there's always new stuff sprouting there, not to mention there's so much adventure for Miss Tania as well ie. like the time she ate a Sunflower, but CG just couldn't get mad with her ;-))))) Afterall, that was just Tania's way of showing her admiration for its beauty ;;-))

BTW, Trish, I'm so pleased at how you interpreted our plants into your pretty necklace. 8)
