Today is Wednesday and I am linking to Mrs. Denise Nesbitt's fun meme ABC-Wednesday, Round 7. This week we are exploring words that begin with the letter N. Not surprising, I have chosen an N-word related to my page's main theme, Jewellery. My N-word is Necklace!

I would like to show a brand new unlisted necklace that I made yesterday. It is inspired by the changes in colour elderberries go through after the white flowers wilt and the green elderberries ripen to dark blueish-purple.

Here are the lacy white blossoms that can be used to make a lemony-sweet summer drink.

And here we see the clusters of berries that appear after the tiny white flowers are gone.

The green berries look almost like green beads.

So it is not hard to imagine making a necklace with beads that look like this:

And after some weeks the colours change from green to dark purple, almost black.

As you see, even the stems also change from green to a reddish-purple shade.

You can drink the juice from these berries, or make pancakes from the blossoms if you think of it earlier in the beginning of July. Here is my daughter, Elisabet holding a cluster of elderberry flowers.
