For their challenge this month,
Molly chose the inspiration from her arms, literally. She loved the colour
combo from a library book, her sunglass case and a binder
 |
| When she least expected it, June’s Pretty Palette jumped out at her! |
Molly chose the brown shades along
with aqua, soft white, red and antiqued silver however my eye saw the black,
red, soft white and aqua shades so I chose to create with those

The starting point was the polymer
clay flower, purchased in a destash sale from Lesley Watt. Next came the large
zebra jasper nuggets, coral shell dyed red and jet black farfalle beads.
Looking at the combination sitting on my bench it felt heavy and dark so I added some
silver tone tube beads and clasp to brighten it up. Everything is strung on black waxed linen
cording

Thanks for stopping by and have a
great day
What a pretty combination of colors! I love those zebra jasper beads and that polymer clay focal.

Very pretty! I think your call to add that bit of silver was the right one. It really brightens up the necklace.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle. It's nice to know you agree too

I love how your pieces are predominantly black- The black and white and red beads really pop against the dark black... and of course I am always a sucker for an asymmetrical design! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lorelei. It make me feel good that so many people I admire like my attemps

Mona, I love that beautiful focal bead with patina that matches the palette! What a great destash find! The small irregular black beads give this piece a bunch of interest, too. Thanks for playing along!
ReplyDeleteThanks. These challenges are always fun

I love your take on the palette. Very sharp with the black and white zebra jasper against the red and silver with the more subtle focal. I also like how you can turn this necklace and wear it in different positions.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry. I think my favourite part was the fact the necklace can be worn in so many different positions
