take from me my lace

A Cup of Jo’s lovely giveaway the other week reminded me that I had yet to photograph this necklace I made. I bought this lace collar at a discount fabric store, then it sat in my random-little-nice-things stash for months. I recently pulled it out thinking I might tack it onto a linen pillow, but the graceful sweep led me toward a necklace. How I love asymmetrical things.

Making the necklace took a couple jump rings, some plain gold chain, a closure, and about ten minutes. Voila.

PS, I had never seen White Owl’s goods before (via A Cup of Jo). Looks like we share a thing for asymmetrical lace, and I love their feminine, bookish styling.

absolutely gorgeous! I love all the different shapes in the lace you chose, it almost looks like a henna design.

How beautiful! I love how it's both simple and intricate. Oh, and asymmetry always floats my boat!

Gorgeous!

I have a weekly Thursday blog party especially for people to share things they've made to be worn. Stop by if you'd like!

I have had my eye (and my favorites button!) on White Owl's etsy shop for awhile now. I can't wait to look for lace bits while thrifting.
