Romanian ethnic jewerly

A phrase I have found recently and I liked a lot " Romanians took the flowers from the field and put them in traditional costumes to mirror the beauty of the sunny lands".
Although I'm not a great supporter of traditional clothing, in many of my creations, I've tried to give a little from Romanian authentic beauty; floral motifs....my favorites, can be found in most of my necklaces.

As I said before, the inspiration comes from everything around me, could be a specific season or a childhood memory, or daily life, from nature and colors, the ideas come one after another, only it takes time to mix them and create a new necklace.
But not in this case; for this necklace, which I am very proud of it, the ideas and my hands moved very fast, it was just a flash of inspiration that I put it into practice.

The proposal came from overseas, namely, to make a statement necklace that will accessorize a white blouse, which will remind of Romanian peasant blouse. I'm most proud that the one who'll wear this necklace will attend a Romanian festival in Canada.😍
Made in basic colors of Romanian embroidery, red, black and white, with floral motifs ... of course, this necklace will attract everyone attention, for sure!!!
I like it so much as I will try other combinations of colors and one for sure I will keep it to myself.

But....I praised enough, now let's take a view of the Ballad of Flowers .

Ballad of flowers

I took pictures on a white linen blouse, a peasant blouse, and also on the black one, as I'm a big fan of " dress in black" and colorful accessories ... what else?
The necklace is made entirely from high quality cotton thread, no metal contained or other allergenic materials and an idea of how you can personalize a simple blouse ..... by applying the necklace as embroidery and the effect is great, don't you agree ?

" MY UNIQUENESS IS MY EFFECTIVENESS "

I recently found this statement, when I was looking for orchid's symbolism and I was surprised to find out that orchids are flowers of Aquarius sign, which is my sign.....by the way ;)
That's why, I dedicated this post and my orchid creations to all Aquarius friends, whom their spirit is always exuberant and nonconformist.
Mid-winter, missing the spring and the only color that caught my attention were orchids from my window. Because they are the only flowers that bloom every winter in my house, I realised that I don't have these beautifull flowers in my " crochet garden "
So, here there are :
Graceful and almost artistic, orchid flowers represents love, beauty, loyalty and power. 
They are part of the largest plant family in the world and they cand vary in size and colors, as my crochet orchids.
Wild orchids can be found in the highest mountains, but also in the plains at the sea level.
Now, the wild orchid grown up in my collection and it's pink as it seems that is the favourite orchids of Aquarius sign.

WILD ORCHID

The set contains a necklace, bracelet and assorted earrings. They are made from a special gradient microfiber thread, in beautifull color tones of light green, pink and purple. Also, I've attached long tassels, because they are so chic and fashionable. The cord of the necklace could be twisted or simple straight, as you'll see in my photos listing from my etsy store.  

As I said before, on my window there are some orchids, but I have only a few colors ( white, yellow, pink and purple ); I would love to have a larger space and collect many more; until then, I have "collected" beautifull crochet orchids that can be worn as necklaces or brooches, if you'll I attach a safety pin....it's so simple and easier to have 2 in 1 accesories.
I've selected 7 colors which I have seemed most representative for orchids.

ORCHIDS 2in1

White, it looks so innocence, beauty and elegance.
Pink, again pink, I couldn't set at one model so I've made to different pink orchids, that represents joy and happiness 
The yellow one stands for friendship and new beginnings
Lavender orchid symbolizes grace and feminine beauty
The purple one as the color of royalty.
And the orange orchid which is full of pride and boldness

I couldn't finish my collection without a babywearing necklace. With bright and vibrant colors of pink and green and tiny orchids, this necklace will be a lovely accesory for breastfeeding moms....but not only
