Embroidered skirt with Necklace from Polymer Clay

I re-constructed a lovely vintage black embroidered circle skirt (probably  from the 50's) that I  had purchased and then set out to see if I could recreate the vintage embroidery design in a polymer clay necklace to wear with the skirt to complete the ensemble.

The necklace is constructed of various PREMO polymer clay floral components attached to a base of hand-sewn macramé cording. The ladybugs are made of PC and acrylic paint. By command performance after the fact (thanks Cat and Sue C) here's a photo of the ensemble together.

    OHHHH, that's beautiful. It just glows against the black. Thank you so much for having a picture taken to show us, I'm camera shy, too, so I understand that was hard to do. Hugs and smiles, Sue C

    That is absolutely amazing. It's one thing to create beautiful art but quite another to re-create a beautiful design.
