Le Jardin
The necklace I created for the 2020 Toho Challenge.
This is the second time I have participated in the challenge, and once again, I only snapped a couple of quick pictures before sending it off.
The necklace will be exhibited in Japan until the 2021 Bead and Button show.
I have written tutorials for most of the flower designs, and am busy assembling them into a book. A few of the blossoms including the poppy and fuchsia are currently available in my Etsy shop.

Toho Challenge 2020
The Toho Challenge colors for 2020 were called "A Spectrum of Joy", and for me the palette was perfect.
My piece is a floral necklace which I called Le Jardin.
To see the finished necklace, click on the link above.
Some of the floral components are shown below.
My completed design has over 300 hours of work involved.
The base was created in two layers.
I used a hand carved nephrite jade focal as my added design element.

Some of the elements prior to attaching them to the base.
All of the floral elements will soon be available as tutorials in my Etsy shop. Enjoy a 15% discount with the coupon code SPRING.
