Inspiration Wednesday

I love this color palette. 

I kept dreaming of being on a beautiful island somewhere warm surrounded by clear blue water.

I was inspired to make this mixed media necklace:

The pendant is porcelain from MarshaNealStudio

Going up the necklace is handmade lampwork glass, enameled, nut, brass and ceramic beads.

Then up the back of the necklace are tiny white etched glass teardrop beads.

Here is the color palette for the next challenge:

Wow, this is such a beautiful photo I cannot stop staring at it.

Okay, so the reveal date will be December 12th.

Here are some items from the Hudson Valley Etsy team for inspiration:

Inspiration Wednesday - Autumn Swirl

Design-Seeds Autumn Swirl

I can't get the sound of the wind out of my head. I am hoping that you are safe, warm and dry in the wake of such a horrible and devastating storm. I couldn't have known 2 weeks ago when I chose this photo what we were going to be presented with these last few days.

I got the time to make this necklace. I really like how it turned out. It is fun, flirty. I love the movement, it is really comfy and lightweight. The blues and creams make it easy to put on with almost any outfit where jeans are involved.

Lots of wire wrapping and chain

The ceramic beads are from Gaea. The dangles at the side aren't just pretty they are also an extender for the necklace so the wearer can choose their most comfortable length.

the button is from Artisan Clay, the etched copper I made.

Here is the theme for TWO weeks:

Here are some items from the Hudson Valley etsy Team for inspiration and wow does our team love purple!
