That 70's Look

Check out any fashion magazine these days and one thing will be apparent; the hippie look is back & it's on blast. That being said, ever since I was a little girl I loved those agate slices that they would infuse dye into. I found a really great deal on them and they arrived in the mail yesterday. I was so excited to make something with them that after I unpacked them I picked two and made necklaces right away. 

So this morning I quickly photographed them to share. Let me know what you think. The components I paired them with also have a very earthy feel to them. I battled the cold weather (don't let the sun fool ya) and took some outside pictures because it wasn't bright enough inside yet. 

I put my two favorites in front. The pink and purple are pretty but not as natural looking as the blue and brown. Some of the blue ones actually have a hollowed out middle and crystallization inside.
They look really pretty when you hold them up to the light. They look like petrified wood with all the bark rings. This one I took a little brass branch with a cherry blossom on it and wired it along with the agate.
 A few length of brass chain hang with a pretty vintage repro brass butterfly and a branch with some oversize leaves and more of that nature feel I was going for.
And I made sure to make the necklaces nice and long (28" to be exact). They look really great layered with a few other natural looking necklaces.
The necklaces should be up for sale in the shop in a few days. If you would like one custom made let me know. I have a few different colors, shapes & sizes. Teal, black, brown, blue, purple & magenta. Depending on how long you want the necklace & how many & what types of charms the average necklace's price point will probably be about $32.
