Another Mess

At our last Garden Club meeting, our talented neighbor, Ruth Jackson, graciously took out the jewelry she had made and shared the process and her gift with the ladies of the club. I was honored as she let me pick out a piece of jewelry to wear to the meeting. It was the blue flower necklace that you can see close up in the last photo. 
It was a toss up of choosing the blue flower necklace or the long necklace in second photo with the Ginkgo leaves. 
The pink necklace in the second photo she did by illustration only as the instructions were in a book written in Russian. 
She and her late husband who was an Artist in his own right, worked together on the chain jewelry and Ruth said he often made her jump rings for her. 
Most of these are tucked away in her jewelry case and as she proclaimed not worn often. 
The kitty justice, I would have a display case and change them often to enjoy those beautiful items and display them for others to gaze upon. 
Ah, Ruth is way to modest to do this.
