Earrings Everyday ~ December Challenge.

Earrings Everyday had another amazing Challenge.

This months challenge was Anamorphic Art.

Erin has a very cool video on her blog.

If you have a moment check it out.

 I thought a lot about the movement and

 how to achieve it.

I have to admit time got away from me since

 I was working on some other creative projects.

I have an idea that I will have to see about doing when

 I get some time and the other projects complete.

So I went simple...

The first pair are actually  re-dos from the

 marbling inspired challenge.

Is it just me or do 

these remind you of the Olympic Rings?

Can you imagine a tiny Olympian 

on these rings doing dips, handstands, swings...

And then

These can be a  my other Olympians,

 waving their Silver & Copper ribbons

as they do their gymnastic floor routine.

Thank You Erin

 for yet another out of the box inspiration!

Why not see what the others were inspired to create!

Interhangeable!

This necklace was gifted to me from 

Deb Abel of It's All Good some time ago.

A real favorite of mine.

She is stinkin' fabulous at Soldering.

Maybe I shouldn't reveal this but she told me her secret

for her soldering to turn out so well is....

 Practice, Practice, Practice! (wink)

 I knew exactly what I wanted to do with this

 Soldered "T" pendant charm 

that Kerry made.... 

As an Interchangeable piece for this necklace.

The swivel lobster claw let's me 

flip it to either side.

Win Win!

So now I can wear either one to match what ever

 I happen to be wearing at the time.

Isn't that simply Wonderful!

Delightful Winnings!

In October I participated in the Art Bead Scene
Monthly Challenge.

 and  I was one of the randomly drawn winners.

Wa-Hoo!

They have various sponsors every month.

I won a $50.00 gift certificate from

Kerry of

Celtic Craft  Designs

who specializes in handmade glass creations.

Here are some of the sample of her work:

Half  Moon Glass Dish

Gotta check her out

http://www.celtcraftdesigns.com/

And here are all the items she sent me, 

which arrived in the mail today:

I can hardly wait to see what I will create with these!

Kerry is not only one uber talented lady

 but a great communicator and also very generous.

She sent me that Bee lamp work bead

 as a bonus for my patience.

So stinkin' cute

  I love it and all the Beads, Kerry! 

Thank You so Much!!!

Bead Hoarders Blog Hop

Welcome to Lori Anderson's 

Second Annual

 Bead Hoarders Blog Hop.

This will be my first time joining.

For this Blog Hop I pulled out this 

Golem Studio pendant from my stash.

I think it is one of the pretties of the Golem Pendants. 

Even on sale it is on the pricey side for me.

So there it sat in my collection.

 I thought this Gaea Ceramic bead went nicely with it.

I got to the top of it with the knotting and then

 I couldn't decide how I wanted to proceed.

Did I want it hang from I long chain?

Did I want to add ribbon...hang it from some leather cord?

Scrounged around for coordinating beads...
I want them to be a supporting cast to the pendant...
not to over power it.

I found these coral cats eye beads.

 Hmm they might work?

 I only had a few since they were gifted to me.

The faceted green rondell cat's eye might work pretty good

 and a few of these Bronzite beads might just do the trick..

Based on these beads I went with a choker length necklace.

I love this chain too which I have also been hoarding. 

This seemed to be a perfect time to use it. 

The magnetic clasp makes it easy peasy to put on and off.

I could see wearing this 

with a nice crisp cotton collard shirt.
