AJE January Component of the Month REVEAL

On the Art Jewelry Elements Blog for the Month of January we all had a wonderful Pie Bead from Karen Totten of Starry Road.
I chose this wonderful Burnt Red color and knew I wanted some how to include turquoise color with it.


Indian Summer

My first idea was for it to be a necklace but I couldn't get it to work the way I wanted so I went to plan B and Plan C and finally got to this.


I really love it, Karen's wonderful Bead paired with a pair of my Copper Components and a splash of bright Turquoise Sari Silk.
I also recently got a Wire Coiling Gizmo and went to town with that, it's so much fun and addicting!
I used some Artistic Bronze wire and combined it with copper, I love mixing metals.



There are 12 participants in this reveal,
Hop along and take a look at their creations!
