I enjoyed the colors that were in my kit. French countryside makes me think of flowers so that was the inspiration for this set. I used patina to color the pendant, link, and clasp flowers lilac to help them stand out. The necklace uses the green crystal rondelles, clear crystal bicones, black rounds, and purple fire polished beads in a repeating pattern. The bracelet features the large black flat sea glass shapes with a purple lucite flower center. The rondelles and bicones space the sea glass shapes apart for definition. The earrings have a pair of the black sea glass bicones at the top with a clear bicones and green rounds. The dangle is a pair of the purple flowers which I used in the center of the bracelet lucite flower. To me this set says springtime in the country. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed making them. To see what the other participants made please click on the link above. Thank you Lisa for another fun challenge.

ReplyDeleteThanx Saundra, It feels really good to have other jewelry designers like my work
DeleteLove your creations! I think we got similar beads, and took a similar path, but with very different results. I really like your florals.
ReplyDeleteThanx Beti. One of the things that fascinates me about beading is how two bead artists can take the same beads and techniques but get totally different results. I am very glad that you like my designs.
DeleteLovely set, I love how you used patina for the pops of color.
