Sally Russick nous a nouveau proposer un défi.
Faire une pièce unique, osée qui affirme quelque chose, un message, une personnalité.
Une pièce qui se remarque.
Je n’ai pas fait ce que je voulais, j’ai failli abandonner et puis j’ai essayé un collier, pas aussi imposant, pas aussi coloré que je l’avais imaginé au début.
J’étais parti sur des couleurs plus flamboyantes, un peu Bollywood et j’ai terminé par quelque chose de plus simple, un peu trop simple.
Sally Russick challenged us again, to make a statement piece this time. That is, a bold, unique piece which conveys a message, a feeling, a personality.
A piece you can not ignore.
Well, I didn’t do what I wanted, I almost dropped out and finally I tried this necklace. It is not as bold and colorful as I had imagined it.
I had thought of more blazing colors, something more Bollywood like and I ended up something simpler, a little too simple.

Il manquait quand même quelque chose, je voulais plus de couleurs, plus de fouillis, alors hier je me suis décidée pour une paire de boucles d’oreilles, mon temps étant limité.
There was something missing, I wanted something with more colors, messier, so yesterday I decided to make a pair of earrings, as my time was limited.

C’était plus ça que j’avais en tête pour le collier, mais parfois on ne va pas exactement là ou on voulait.
This is more what I had in mind for the necklace, but sometimes you don’t go exactly where you were heading to.

I so love both the necklace and the earrings. They are both total statement pieces. I love the elephant – so charming! I also love that the necklace and earrings have totally different color schemes, yet both are so bold. Both the necklace and earrings are really the kind of thing I always want to make – bold and full. Great work.

I think you got it 100% 'right'! The necklace is just bold enough to make the gorgeous components really pop..yet it's not too bold to make the piece unwearable. Your design fabulously showcases the lovely elephant face, and with such sweet flowers (bonus points!!). The earrings..wow, 'totally feeling' the wild groove!
