Allegory Storm Cloud Challenge Reveal

I

Today is the reveal for Allegory Gallery Storm Cloud Challenge. This is the kit  20 designers purchased

There is always a Mystery component that is handmade from Polymer by Andrew and I forgot to photograph it, but you can see how I used it.  First up are these eclectic funky earrings.  I need some long Artsy earrings as my hair is longer these days. Using my stash, some Labradorite chips from kit and the tiny Czech glass flowers from the luxury blend I created these beauties. They are lightweight and surely pack a statement

I then took Andrew's mystery component all light ,silvery like sparkling winter snow and I wanted to add more shiny swirls. I don't know why,  I just did. So I wrapped it with Silver Parawire added A Jessie James bead and tassel creating this long Contemporary Necklace. 

Brass Chain from B'sue Boutiques , Fancy square Hill tribe silver clasp and I made a dangling charm from the luxury mix

I added a few more swirls using wire.  Sometimes I experiment

Love how it turned out 

Tassel for Whimsy

My little not matchy matchy set

I am not finished creating pieces for this collection but did want to share the beginning's with you. My widowed mother remarried a year and a half ago.  So this past weekend they threw a party and invited his family our family, guess who catered!  I cooked for 85 people. So I am a little tired, what with Beadfest the week before, but my spirit and Joy are here with you.  Thank you for stopping by and let me know your thoughts.

Earrings Everyday October Challenge

The challenge this month was to make earrings for one of the Project Runway  models since they are missing their Jewelry. The designer for these is Monique Lhuillier. I so loved this idea. I chose to make earrings for the pant and Jacket ensemble. I was trying to figure out my color scheme Black, Purple, pink, wine and Navy blue. No problem with the pink cause I am a pink loving girl. In my stash Pink passion Pansy beads. Love these flower beads. The czech glass oval coins are a pink and Purple blend.

 I added crystal rondells for evening sparkle. The pink daggers represent the edgyness of the entire outfit.

I hope you enjoyed my earrings and enjoy the rest of the hop.
