Earrings Everyday ~ December Challenge.

Erin is calling it the "CRAFTERMATH"

what is left over after creating.

In the words of  Popeye,

"That's all I can stands, cuz I can't stands it's n'more.

This is embarriskin'!  Ahh gagaga!"

Is there no end to this madness?

By accepting the challenge I put a dent in

 the inevitable cleanup. Yeah! 

And made some earrings! Win Win!

I actually have 3 more piles of inspiration.

Possible second ABS creation so....

 I'm not going to share that just yet.

Plus it's ... Embarriskin'! Ahh gagaga!

 I started bagging up some possibilities.

This is what I made.

8 bagged,  but only Six  made it to the finish.

ABS December Challenge

PARIS

For more details about the Artist and the paintings check out this

 Art Bead Scene post!

For this month's challenge 

I had local bead maker and friend

Katherine Thompson, 

Custom make some faceted PC rondelle beads 

in the soft clay colors of the painting. 

She went above and beyond creating 3 tones.

I also selected from here plethora of metal finding this 

Heart link and Pendant with a subtle embossed grid.

I easily turned the heart link ono a clasp 

with my own recycled copper staple fashioned into a hook.

(The pendant is still on the bead board,

waiting for just the right idea.)

Paired her beads with the bead I won from 

Heather Wynn Millican of Swoondimples.

I went through several design layouts before I settled on this one.

Adding just a few pops of the yellow like the painting.
Even the rusty orange with the silk ribbon.

Cluster Pearl & Crystal Necklace.

I had Great Fun 

putting this together.

 Soft Lavender and Champagne Pearls

were personally selected by the customer.

Loads of Crystals with a mix of 

silver and gold plated findings.
