Honey Do Color Challenge




 Sarajo Spurrgeon Wentling challenged by her husband this month, with this photo and the colors he pulled from it. Sarajo then asked a few designers if we'd like to play along. I thank Mr. Wentling for the inspiring challenge, I thank Sarajo for the invite to play along and here we go.  These were some of the color components that I selected. The center of the flower leans more to Burgundy or a Dark brown but I wanted Black (Artistic Liscense)

First up Earrings, the black hats I showed last friday meet three group challenges this month and its a first for me. Earrings Everyday third friday of the month you make earrings from an inspiration Photo. B'sue Boutiques Creative Group Finished up Friday.  I had a lot finished but could not post everything to the reveal of the Honey Do Challenge, lol.Thats what Sarajo has named the Challenge.
Black Hats for a pop of color Matching larger flowers from Necklace


Then I made more earrings from the gems, pearls and spectra beads from the necklace.

Using the Orange and Greens from Photo






















One of the challenges for myself this year is smaller simpler designs. Every Necklace does not have to be a large Statement piece. It can be a mini, lol.
So this Necklace is Dainty full of color for the Ladies who dont like big showy pieces.  However my heart needed to create that statement piece.
Nice piece of Jade with gold and Honey Agate gemstones,Carnelian gemstone rounds, Olive green glass pearls, light green glass Spectra beads, Large Brass flowers all from B'sue Boutique as well as the BlackDesigner finish Brass used in this collection.



I was unable to complete bracelet in time for reveal but that will be in my shop by friday as well as the earrings.  Lets hop and see what the designers have created.

  2. I still love those top hats!! So fun. I can tell you had a good time making earrings for this one! I know what you mean about wanting/needing to make simpler pieces. When you sell your work you have to think about having a variety of styles and price-points. I would wear the heck out of your "dainty" necklace! :) Thanks so much for joining the fun and playing along this month!

  7. Super pieces! I live how you challenged yourself within a challenge! My favorite one is the asymmetrical earrings! I find it especially hard to do that and you made it look sooo easy peasy! My favorite bead you used has to be the jade focal, it is perfect color for the challenge!
