Gustav Klimt

I like this painting because I like the gold "tears." I also like the people cuddling on the left side of the painting.

Jewelry # 15

It was established in 1989

Couture Piece

During this project, I learned that it takes a lot of beads to make this!! I also learned that you might need to play with your piece a little bit in order to make it look right and be wearable at the same time. One technique I learned was to connect two separate strands to one strand in order to make it so that the 3 strands don't mix (the middle piece is what I did for this.) I originally was going to have all three strands just hang, but I found that they were getting tangled too easily. I really don't think I would change anything about this piece. I am really happy with how it came out and I love the way it looks!!! :) :) :)

Couture

This piece is couture because it has way more chains than what is needed and has an exaggerated amount of charms on it. From what I can see, the artist used a lot of layering in order to create the effect of the piece being one big chain piece.

Couture Jewelry

I chose this piece as a couture project. I thought that I could blow it out of proportion with much larger beads and longer chains. I think it's a pretty piece because of the uniqueness of a necklace like this.
