November AJE Component of the Month - Design Reveal

Welcome to the Art Jewelry Elements Component of the Month Reveal!
This beautiful Bronze Snowflake is by the talented Lesley Watt of The Gossiping Goddess.


I tried to give it a soft icy feeling by dangling 3 glass drops from the focal itself.
I also used a fun little Wingding from GeneaBeads in the same colors,
added a some stronger color with Czech Glass beads in matte teal and soft yellows with glass beads from CanyonEchoes and a tiny little snippet of pale yellow Sari Silk.



Check out what the others have made with this gorgeous Snowflake!

    That's really pretty Kristi - it does have a really cool as in temperature feel to it. Obviously very cool in design terms too. Thanks for taking the challenge.

    Kristi, that turned out beautiful! I love those wing dings, but can't figure out how to use them with seed beading. Your placement of it is just perfect. That little touch of sari silk just completes this great design.

      Shirley, you can use the wing dings in a seed beaded design like Mary Hardings necklace here http://pinterest.com/pin/134122895124061150/ or you can put them in a "fringe" or "caterpillar" design as well ;)

      That's the first time I've used a little wing ding, isn't it perfect for that spot. Just a splash of color!! Thanks Shirley and Genea!
