Daisy chain
These are much smaller flowers just over two inches wide and I've made them to wear as a necklace.
I satin stitched them , by hand, on to a handmade cord.
They can be moved up and down the length of the cord so they can be worn overlapping, up close to the neck,
or more loosely arranged with a space between.
I actually made more than 5 but I like it with this arrangement.
Do you think these are worth obsessing about or shall I stick with brooches?
This isn't me by the way, its Constance Truelove my mannequin, named after the very delightful and much missed lady who gave her to me.

You should contact Anthropologie immediately. I think they would sell tons of these!!!
I really like them too!
I love these! And I would certainly wear one.
This is lovely. Effective on the polo-neck jumper.
What a wonderful idea for a necklace! Wow, I can imagine custom daisy chains, lariat ones, long length, even skinny scarves.
Is Constance going out on the town? I saw some Mannequins in Burtons window - perhaps she needs a boyfriend?
Gorgeous! Constance wears it well!
Thats lovely Jackie, I really like them as a necklace.
Love

Definitely start obsessing. These are gorgeous, I like them the best of all your things you've shown recently :-)
I think they are lovely and worth carrying on with. Five is a perfect number and I think they will be very popular.
Love it!!!
Ooooh, so yummy, brilliant idea, three would work as well as five though. Make lots more!!

I think you have hit on a fabulous idea my friend, well worth your obsession and time... these are going to be a hit! As for Constance, she looks stunning... my Esmeralda is jealous!
I love this! I imagine that I would be far from alone in loving it. I think more should be made.
I like the way you can move them close together or spaced apart. Now, for some other colours...
They are really lovely and I'm sure would be successful. 5 works well.
Love it and the colours, I would love to wear one.
Oh! definitely have a go! This should be a real winner!
Beautiful Jackie!! Love it. Can see them in all those wonderful colours you use with the brooches.
I'd definitely love to wear one of these Jackie, so I think they're worth doing.
Absolutely you would do well to make more of these. In fact I saw something vaguely similar made with beads in an old Beadwork magazine a few days ago and was going to write to tell you about it and suggest that you consider giving necklaces a try. I guess my thoughts got to you through the Universe! Well done, I look forward to seeing more.
I just noticed that you have something like 219 followers. Wow, good thing we don't all write to you every day.
You should make more of these. It is very nice and a great idea. You could even slide on of the flowers around to the back. I think they would be nice in a group of 3 also. Keep up the great work. :-)
I think necklaces have endless of possibilities as well as belts or sashes....don't limit yourself! Hate for you to get in a rut. They're beautiful.
Keep obsessing. It's a genius idea!
Looks like a universal YES then!!

This is my fav thing out of all the wonderful things you've done.
Goes gorgeously with black.
So thats a yes then!!!
make more of these, they're lovely.
Yes, obsess away, the necklace is beautiful and very YOU! Love Constance, btw!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT...just lovely Jackie, beautiful...love H
love them - they look so cheerful on a dark jumper on a winter's day
I think necklaces are a brilliant way of displaying your art. This necklace is stunning!
Love them... not for me though..my busoms are far too big to have something like that on them...
Honestly, they are lovely...........
The Daisy Chain is lovely and complements the brooch production - I think there's room for both! Best wishes. Lesley
A brilliant idea and another string to your bow
I have ben a bit of a blurker on your blog for some time and cannot not comment today. Your necklace is amazing and you have a prodigious talent. Do you do commissions on brooches I wonder? I am thinking rich purple and aqua......
Beautiful.
Any chance you would consider writing a tutorial to show more insights on how you make your beautiful flowers? I'd really like to try to make some. They look lovely.
