BUILD A LINE CHALLENGE REVEAL




 Welcome to The Build A Line Challenge Blog Hop Sponsored by Brenda Sue Lansdowne of  http://www.bsueboutiques.com  Thank You Brenda Sue Lansdowne of Bsue Boutiques, My Mentor, The Teacher, I call you Friend for without whom this challenge, this road to discovery would not have happened.  The Challenge was to design 5 cohesive pieces in a Pyramid of price ranges. Inexpensive pieces that sell without guilt to a customer. Pieces that could be reproduced by me with options for the customer. I challenged myself to design smaller pieces than the Statement kind of pieces I usually do, and add color. Inexpensive but not cheap materials, because BSue has the good stuff.  My customer could have a Varity of colors. Since this is the Spring line you will see spring colors.  Summer will add cool sky blue, Turqoise.  The fall will add Oranges, Browns.  Necklines are chain, or beaded.  The Brass, glass spectra beads, Heart stampings, earring findings even the Vintage and Gold colored copper wire were all purchased at   www.bsueboutiques.com   Mostly the line is done in Raw brass with color added although I usually design in Silver with Gemstones. Usually Women, even low on funds, we will find a way to buy lipstick and earrings. lol, So my Wings and Beads Collection started with Earrings.  Although not being my strong point, I gave it a Whirl.  I love to match my bracelets and Necklaces and everything is interchangeble Mix and Match!
