My fellow bead maker Marla has started a new blog/facebook page called Artisan Whimsy. There is currently a contest going on over at the blog for "best owl". Well what the heck, I thought I would enter it.
This design was hand carved into a lino sheet, then I roll the clay over the texture and cut out the pendant. The pendant was inspired by this poem I wrote.<br />

Brandi Girl Blog is posting a color palette for us bead makers to use when glazing new pieces. We are to use the color palette for inspiration for new ways of using color. We can choose one or two colors, or use them all.
Here is this months color palette:

The designers were asked to make 2 pieces using the componenents provided.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was randomly chosen to make the pendant.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today the results of the challenge were revealed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Go to the above link to take a tour of the great results! It is interesting to see how each designer uses the same components in their own individual ways.</span><br />

My creative inspiration the past few weeks has been leading me into beads. These little works of art make great earrings, and I can see a necklace with many of just these beads and glass accents or silver in between. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It's easy to make an earring by just stringing them on a head pin with accent beads and making a wire loop at the top for the ear wire.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">They are decorated on both sides of the bead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sold individually, order 1 or many.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjybjYq9jtNTb9crP3dXHISYI0tn_2DA5U5AWEfuPK5oR4LJuWncemUvnyxRJtwXKlBKPBnjB8hs2zqHYoU-STroldFtvBmwHjFuWakEiJX_d6LUYiwHSxutkyddRc-AgI3nIsT5CWKYSHI/s1600/cuff+and+bird+013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjybjYq9jtNTb9crP3dXHISYI0tn_2DA5U5AWEfuPK5oR4LJuWncemUvnyxRJtwXKlBKPBnjB8hs2zqHYoU-STroldFtvBmwHjFuWakEiJX_d6LUYiwHSxutkyddRc-AgI3nIsT5CWKYSHI/s320/cuff+and+bird+013.jpg" vca="true" width="313" /></a> <br />

I had two swap partners, Fay Wolfenden and Sue Kennedy of Sue Beads.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The only requirements for the earring designs were that the ear wires be sterling, and the designer must use hand made art beads.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are the wonderful earrings that I received from my partners</span>:<br />

This lovely area features 3 barrier islands that are federally protected and completely undeveloped. All 3 islands are populated with wild horses that are descended from Spanish bloodlines. It is believed that the original horses were shipwreck survivors that managed to swim to shore, and were able to find fresh water by pawing the sand. The horses have been on the islands for over two hundred years.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The islands are also premier shelling destinations.
