Anyone can grow flowers....

Here's my latest "anyone can" necklace - Anyone can grow flowers.

I hate to say it and upset anyone - but it has been so spring like here with warm days and sunshine and all the flowers coming out - so this little piece just popped into my head.

It's created to be like a shadow box so has it's own type of "frame" and inside shows "anyone" tending to his/her pretty flowers.


It has been a few weeks since "anyone" made an appearance and this piece actually took no thinking about it all. I sat down, wasn't even trying to think and the image came to me, I drew a quick sketch and then put it together.

Even if you are still in the cold or even snow - maybe this will make you think of more spring and summer days with the flowers opening up and blooming. Soon it will be green fingers time and you can help create all that colour and scent in your garden.......because "anyone can grow flowers".......

Anyone can fall in love

Let me introduce you to "anyone". He/She is my newest friend and will be featured in my new "anyone can....." series of jewelry. I wanted to create a little figure that could be male or female and so I created "anyone". (I'll refer to "anyone" as "him" but only because it gets awkward to keep using both sexes!).
Anyhow, I want anyone to try doing different things - be adventurous and see where it takes him.

For a start this, my first piece, is "anyone can fall in love". It is a lariat necklace. "Anyone" is seen falling through the heart shape of the necklace - and so is falling 'in' love!

He is a simple little figure, pants/trousers and a hat and his arms are out in this piece as he his free-falling! And yes, as he is falling - he hangs upside down! Maybe a little bit reminiscent of my first "anyone" piece- but then "anyone" was a bird and the piece was "anyone can fly". Maybe my new anyone will try flying one of these days.

As I do with lariats, there is a little hook on the back of the heart so you can loop part of the chain on it and it holds the lariat at a specific length. So anyone can hang just where you want him. He's close to the "love" in the photos so that I can get a closer up photo of both pieces but you may wear him further away.

I'll put him up on Dawanda and my website soon.

I have lots of ideas of things anyone can try - but if you have some suggestions, I'd love to hear them. I'll mention them to anyone and see if he thinks it's something he'd enjoy! Obviously falling in love was an easy choice! We all love that feeling - that free fall feeling of falling in love!
