I enjoyed this challenge, I loved the snow flake focal and links.......And Loved the icy blues of all the beads in the kit! The package was lovely all tied up in a pretty ribbon! inside there was lots of sparkly icy themed beads and snow flake sequins......very pretty!
I made a necklace with the snow flake focal, I wire wrapped it with some crystals, and hung in from a strung necklace of multiply shades of blue crystals and silver beads, I put some crystals on head pins and clustered them on either side of the focal and randomly in other places on the necklace. I also added a bit of the ribbon from the kit to the pendant. I also made a bracelet in matching colors with a center piece of clustered lucite flowers with crystal centers . And a pair of earrings featuring the snow flake links and crystal drops...
Please go and check out the other participants work at the above link
thank you
To me, your pieces really convey the feeling of icy, snowy winter. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using beaded dangles in clusters like you did. It really brings attention to the pendant, but doesn't distract from it. The earrings and bracelet are very sweet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the challenge!
Beautiful - I agree, you completely captured the icy feeling with the necklace. I love it!
ReplyDeleteSo romantic and beautiful. Made me think of a snowy day. I loved your pieces.
ReplyDeleteRomantic sums them up nicely. They are lovely and delicate, something an ice fairy would wear to tea. Very pretty! - Dawn

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun bloghop...and I don't mind snowflakes this year as we are not seeing many in the northeast so far! Lovely pieces :)
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty and the perfect piece for Winter...although it's been unseasonably warm here (and I'm not complaining!). I especially like how you added the ribbon - the perfect touch!
