Four seasons - summer

Summer Meadows Collar 
I was reunited with my designs today - from Stitch n craft Beads - great to get feedback!

The summer meadows collar was designed a year ago - inspired by the nature reserve in Oakenshaw - filled with wild flowers in the summer months - giving a spattering of colour.   The focal point is a sunflower created from the rivoli and rizos.  Lilac butterflies sit within the summer sky.  The free form nature of the stitches add texture and depth to the design.  Copper chain was added late in the day - to sit with the picture perfect nature of the design.
