Evolution of design
These round scoops were the first version of the Flying V choker necklaces. They were made with 3 mm cubes and finished with buttons.
I then started using 4 MM squares to make a bigger statement. I switched from a soft scoop to a bold V shape.
I named my new design the FLYING V- because the shape reminds me of a flock of migrating geese:
I used sharply contrasting colors for a bold statement. Root beer brown and metallic bronze, or Gunmetal black with gold…
I tried matte finish with shiny borders and shiny interiors with matte borders
I progressed then, to evoking the colors of the natural world: the soft summer colors of an oak opening, the Sunset, and the sunrise.
This one evokes the deep greens of the maple woods, with a chain that mimics the maple Samara.
Below, I was inspired by Lake Superior at dawn:
Also, Sunrise on the grasslands: Note the beaded buttons on this piece.
