Total Treasures Challange

Amy from Copper Diem sent each of us a screenshot and link to an Etsy treasury to provide inspiration to make a piece of jewelry.

Here is the treasury:
Red Dress, Birds, Moss

I was really drawn to that red and black ring. I had a heart shaped piece of mourning jet from DVH Designs, and some oval onyx frames. I looked through the rest of my stash and found some red glass beads, and here is what I came up with:

Here is a list of all of the participants - I can't wait to go and see what everyone made! Thanks Amy for organizing the challenge!!!

Flower Charm Challenge

Sue Kennedy from Sue Beads offered these wonderful little enamel flower charms up for a challange. My husband found the art glass bead by Andrea Land when we were at Bead and Button. I also used some lampwork disc beads and tagua nut rounds. I really like the way the copper wire wrapping turned out on the flowers. I had a heck of a time figuring out how to get them to lay right with the fiber. Thank you Sue for the chance to play with these beads!

Here are the links for the other participants. I am very happy to be included with such a talented group of artists for my first challenge! (First challenge, first blog post - lots of firsts today).
