October Component of the Month Reveal
Time for the October Component of the Month REVEAL!!!
I'm so excited to have provided this cool Ammonite Component to everybody to make their creations!!
Here's what I made with mine!
I purposely chose the piece with the big crack in it,
I love it and think it adds to the personality of the texture.

I braided Sari Silk over heavy copper wire for the frame of the sides and used one of my rings for a sort of hook and eye closure.
I'm still toying with the idea of adding some little dangling baubles to this piece.

if I make 52 that's cool if not that's ok too.

These Lavandula earrings start with amazing Lampies by Jen Cameron of Glass Addictions. I added a pair of my Polymer Clay Sea Urchin discs and a big of Fiber wrapped in copper.
 |
| Blue Jean Baby |
These Blue Jean Baby earrings start with wonderful Glass Headpins by Diane of Sowzere then I stacked some Turquoise Sari Silk a colorful Greek Ceramic bead a glass bead and a pop or red with a little Czech glass bead like the cherry on top!
 |
| Burgundy and Brass |
I made these Poppy drops in Burgundy start this next pair off, then I scrounged around my stash for the perfect rustic Brass bead and another touch of Sari Silk to finish these Burgundy and Brass Earrings.
 |
| Industrialized |
Super cool Electroformed Lampwork beads by Leah of BeadsOfPassion sandwiched between some earthy Czech glass beads and Mesh Dangle in Copper that I made finish this very raw Industrialized pair of earrings. |

Earring Challenge, Reveal 17, Weeks 35&36
Coming in to this one a little late. I was gone all of last week and only just got a pair of earrings made. I'm in serious lust with these so I thought I'd better share them on the Earring Challenge even though the day is almost over.
I call them Tide Pools
They start with a pair of Bronze components I made long ago. I haven't used bronze in quite some time but I happened to spot them and because they had that extra off center hold I immediately remembered I had some of Jen Cameron's amazing headpins that were for a Component of the Month some time ago that I wasn't able to participate in. They are a perfect match!! I created the niobium earwires and embellished them with a beautiful Czech glass bead that matches the lampwork almost exactly and wrapped them in Copper.
These are available for sale HERE in my Etsy Shop.

Earring Challenge Reveal 15, Weeks 31-32/52
Here we are well over half way through the year and more earrings to share!
I've been fixated with Polymer Clay lately and these feature big Wonky Turquoise Sea Urchin Discs and little wood textured discs.
 |
| Sky on Fire |
I tried to stretch my use of color by using Purple, Orange and blue in these Sky On Fire Earrings,
I think they are very funky and fun.
Amazing dripping headpins by Numinosity and my Polymer Clay Purple Wood Textured Tubes.
Both pair are available in my Etsy Shop!
Time to start making earrings for Reveal 16 Weeks 33-34/52
Please hop around and see what the other artists have created for this weeks reveal.

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!
