The Year of Jewelry Project - Week 1 - Renewal

True to my word, my first challenge I have set myself for 2013 is to complete as many weeks as I can of The Year of Jewelry Project.  I had entered previously but failed miserably.  There is so much talent amongst this years participants, I look forward to personally challenging myself to meet the challenge of the week.

For week 1 the challenge was renewal.  My Phoenix cuff is the epitome of renewal - rising from the ashes to obtain new life.  The pendant on the cuff was my inspiration and has gained new life to be enjoyed once again.

3rd Annual Challenge of Color



Miss Erin from Treasures Found is hosting the 3rd Annual Challenge of Colour.  For the past couple of years I have watched as participants have combined their talent with their imagination meeting the challenge set.  So this year I am one of the 80 participants!  Erin has joined forces with Brandi Hussey the awesome palette guru, they collaborated using pictures from earth art to create the palettes for the challenge.

I was sent two palettes, however couldn't resist the depth of the colours of Mississippi Delta!


 After playing around with colours over the past couple of weeks - this is the result, I'll let the pictures do the talking.  The art bead is by the wonderful Vanessa from Bead Up A Storm












 Please visit the other participants blogs! You will be engrossed and amazed at the range of the colour spectrums and the incredible talent that has joined this years challenge!

Black Magic

"That old black magic has me in its spell ... that old black magic that you weave to well ... "  Johnny Mercer

Keeping with the theme of the day - this is my latest cuff using a combination of matt beads, the texture is raw but still keeps the slinky feel of my other loomed cuffs. To complete the piece an ivory pendant was attached.

Design:  Caron Reid of Caron Michelle
Materials:  Miyuki round beads, Miyuki Delicas, Tila, Swarovski Crystal
Technique:  Erin Simonetti Warp Management technique
