When
we first got the bakelite pieces in, I kept visiting with them in
the store,
because they didn’t immediately tell me what they wanted to be in
my
world.
I had my aha!
moment while
perusing an issue of Atomic Ranch magazine.
There is a certain amount of overlap historically in the
world of Bakelite
with all things mid-century modern – and it came together with the
help of the
large jumprings and a bit of wirework. This
necklace even sort of looks like the molecular structure of
Bakelite.
I envision an
Audrey Hepburn-esque lady (doesn’t
have to be that slender! This
is a piece
that us “above average” folks can, ahem, display differently),
dressed in a black
turtleneck and black pants, wearing this necklace, with big
sunglasses, a black
purse hanging from her arm (bakelite handle?), and black boots. And off to the art gallery
we go.
Layering some of the pieces with thin, dark rings and adding the beads wired into the ovals helps to lift this piece above being a simple design of components and links. The order you put the components together in is up to you - just have fun with it!
