Allegory Mystery Challenge 3



Today is the Mystery Challenge 3 Reveal.  20 designers purchased a Kit without having any idea as to what would be in it. We committed ourselves to create a piece of Jewelry using as much or as little of the kit along with our own private stash. This is the Kit as I am sorting it all out, some gemstone chips, some sequins, glass beads, glass pearl,:

The kit has some large green beads and I realize that I have a couple from a previous kit. Will have to work those into the design.


Lovely Coral Pink with touches of Green and some yellow, and white. The component with the little bird so precious.
This kit is so pretty. In order to make the challenge mine I needed to make something unique like Dawn Gray did in the Luna challenge. I have had the honor of taking a class with the illustrious Polymer Queen Christi Friesen so I am able to dabble a bit.   Dawn Gray, Heather Powers and Teresa Salgado have all inspired me to make a polymer cane and create some Polymer beads for this challenge. 

I then created this simple layering Necklace and earrings using my beads and beads from the kit. I wanted to Layer the pieces like Laurel Steven's does.

I created a pair of Shoulder duster earrings for this collection:

Then I made this over the top layering Necklace, attempting to use many of the kit beads and mine. I used my Cane to create a focal with matching earrings.
I added wire wrap to the earrings.  I Love how these earrings came out 
The Necklaces can be worn individually or layerd (how do you spell that word, smh)


I love how the sequins look in my charmie dangles on the necklace adding the extra pop of color. With the seed beads that come in the kit, I add Swarovski crystals, brass bead caps for the ends and Walah! create this beautiful bracelet.

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.
Photo in the sunlight highlights Purple Pink Oval beads.
I hope you enjoyed my earrings and enjoy the rest of the hop.
