Resonate Watercolor Painting Necklace by Marika Reinke 2017

Watercolor Painting Necklaces

Really, you don’t have to wear a necklace.  Most of the time, why worry about it?  It isn’t an essential and most of the time, they are for people that are into fashion trends and style magazines.

But a necklace isn’t always about style or trends. Instead, a necklace can be about inner beauty, strength, and courage.

There are times when self-expression is a necessary luxury and peace of mind, like settling the nerves of an upcoming public speaking engagement, garnering courage to ask for a promotion, vulnerable moments when a little pop of color brings much needed cheer, or a gentle reminder in troubled times that this too shall pass and is an opportunity to grow. There are times when a necklace expresses, grounds, reminds and protects you. And you deserve it.

A necklace can speak to and for you.  Only you know when you look at it and say, “Yes, this is me! It is about me!”

That’s why I paint these watercolor necklaces; to connect you to the truth of you when you need it; everyday, some days or on special occasions.

I paint them one by one

I start with pure intuition, inspiration and high quality watercolors then let these paintings emerge from the paintbrush and intention. The result is a unique little painting that sparkles like a jewel and tells a story that, I believe, will connect with just the right person. The essence of that story is captured with a short original poem that I write and deliver with each one.

Believe me, I don’t finish a painting, unless I think it is perfect, even if it means waiting again for another dot to dry.  When I reach that moment and I’m sure, I begin to frame them in glass, name and sign them, and seal them with a durable diamond glaze. The complete process can take 2-3 days with many settled moments waiting for paint, glaze and glue to dry in between.

The best part is when everyone comes together; a painting, a poem, a watercolor necklace find the perfect person who cherishes this piece of art as truest self-expression.

Jewels, Dreams and Metaphors

These are beautiful one-of-a-kind original watercolor painting necklaces. They sparkle, a luscious punch of style, like jewels but crafted with iridescent, gold, silver and vivid luxurious pigments. Practically, they are durably sealed to outlast Costa Rican heat and water (please don't put them in the laundry though!). Ultimately, they are meaningful gifts that seal friendship, memories, love and self.

“The Edge of the Universe” Pendant on Etsy (c) Marika Reinke 2015

When I painted this, I based it off a picture of a galaxy I have pinned on my “Color Schemes” Pinterest board. I wanted pinks, rich purples, blues and some white blasts of light but not a literal translation of the photo. The final doesn’t look like the galaxy, it was never my intent to end there, only to start there.

As I worked on it, I added the white gouache to the wet colors and watched the white expand and speckle the painting. It was amazing. It looked almost exactly like the galaxy, but I didn’t do it, the water did it (I swear it!).

There is mystery everywhere but also order. I love chaos theory.

This necklace is a reminder that living in that mystery, accepting the chaotic order and creativity of the universe and being inspired and engaged there is a worthy life purpose.

This one has been sold.  But I’ve listed a couple others left over from my Art in the Park debut on my Etsy shop for $40 plus free shipping.
