December Echo Creative Club tease..............

It's time once again for the "tease" post.  I received these cute, colorful little half lotus charms made by the enormously talented polymer clay artist Jeannie Dukic (www.jkdjewelry.com). As in previous months, I am only showing what I received to incorporate into my design........

I pulled out some of my hand dyed silk, some pretty little faceted amethyst beads and some brass wire - as before, I am not sure what I am going to create - I let the pieces sit on my bench for the month while I play with other things that *could* go with them.  

Aren't those half lotus charms just adorable?  Oh, and you'll just have to check back to see what I create with them........come back on the 25th for the big reveal!

Echo Creative Club - November

This is my second month of participation in the Echo Creative Club.  The piece that I make will be revealed on November 25th - but until then I wanted to show you the gorgeous creation by Jeannie Dukic (Jewelry

by Jeannie) that I will be using in my piece.

There is this pretty little scalloped ice pink swirl outlined in antique gold

and this cunning little button.

I have started playing with beads and wire and colors but I can see I am far from finished going through ideas of how to incorporate these lovelies in a piece. 

An idea or two might come out of this collection - but then again I may end up swittching them all out for a completely different idea.

Reveal date is November 25th.......y'all are invited of course!

Echo Creative Club - July

This is my month of participation in the Echo Creative Club.  The piece that I make will be revealed on July 25th - but until then I wanted to show you the gorgeous creation by Jeannie Dukic (Jewelry by Jeannie) that I will be using in my piece.

First I have to say I was blown away by the packaging she used.........her tagline is "Be brave enough to live your life creatively" and judging by what I received in the mail, she does!

And now on to the charm - it's a lovely sand dollar - polymer clay and oh-so-perfect for a summer piece of jewelry.  I have to admit that it has been sitting front and center on my bench - every time I get an idea I lay the beads and wire/fiber/cord next to it..................in my mind it has been made twenty times over.  

I am not going to spoil it....................(although I ALWAYS read the last page of a book and ask for the ending of movies just 'cuz......)and I am not going to even hint at what I will be using for beads/wire/etc.......but I will ask you - what would you do with this?

Come back and visit me on the 25th for the reveal - and until then check out Jeannie's work on her website - it's fantastic!
