Week 3 Result: Lion

Week 3: Lion

I’m pleased with this one! I don’t make many bracelets, but I like this one. I may add more gold accents to the wood rings to balance out the gold chains and clasps, but I consider this one done. 🙂

First attempt...not impressed. Take 2 with wood rings. Win! Crimped and ready for a clasp...
All clasped up! Top View Bottom View

Tada!

Week 1 Result: Nostalgia Rose

After a distinct lack of inspiration early last week, I finally decided what direction I wanted to take this piece in, and I’m pretty pleased with the result.

Since I decided to go with the terra rosa jasper, I felt that gunmetal-plated findings would complement the greys in the stone perfectly. I used jumprings to create helm chain to hold the focal piece and to separate the stringing wire sections of seed beads, faceted bicones, and terra rosa rounds.

From start to finish:

Week 1 Challenge: Nostalgia Rose

 

Starting this week, I’m challenging myself to craft one new project a week for the next year. My inspiration will be Pantone’s Color of the Day for that week’s Monday.

Today’s color is Nostalgia Rose, a soft mauve. Not sure what I’ll pick to make yet, so stay tuned! I’ll post updates via Twitter and wrap everything up into a post when the project is finished later this week.

Week 1: Nostalgia Rose

Feel free to kick me if it looks like I start slacking on this! My goal is to keep the creative juices flowing all year long. Wish me luck!
