I can’t believe we have turned the calendar page to December… Before we deck the halls, and fatten the goose – lets take a minute or two for the November COM over at Art Elements!
This month we had a guest artist! Kristie Roeder of Artisan Clay donated a few of her signature glass/glaze circular pendants. They are rich in color – pools you can dive in to! As you would expect – I forgot to take a picture of mine when I received it… I got the one pictured here on the top right!
The colors were evocative of the night sky to me – and we had a Super Moon on November 14th. Wheels are turning… the Muse taps me on the shoulder. And I knew I would wire the “moon” into the center of the piece. Then stars, then crystals… and it all came together quickly.
Umm – love it all and its too big for me to wear – even better! I’ll hang it in my studio!
I decided to add to the piece with a top section: nickle silver and faux bone. The Latin translates ti: “From darkness, light” and is a favorite quote of mine. I love the engraver – for those freehand swirls! I need to experiment more! I’m not sure how I want to hang the piece, but this ribbon is one option. What are your thoughts? Overall I am really happy with how it turned out – and I have been beading so much lately, it was GREAT to saw again…
Thanks for stopping in and please don’t miss the other designs this month from guests and team mates alike.

That’s gorgeous Jenny! It has everything I love! I can see it with rough wrapped silver wire to hang it, maybe more dangles from the corners of the bone… You can never have too may dangles! 🙂

Pure magic!! Love how you handled this component. I love having jewelry for the wall or in the window! Those crystals would be perfect dangling in the sun or moonlight.
