AJE June Component Of the Month Reveal...

My apologies for posting a little late - things conspired against me somewhat this weekend but here we are at last...

This month our component creator was Jenny Davis-Reazor and she send us all a pair of lovely ceramic charms from this selection - mine being a pair with a flower design in a lovely blood red.


Having had a very hectic month with very little creative time I stuck with the easy option of making a pair of earrings. I love the contrast of the deep red and the milky white on jenny's charms and I wanted to keep an organic feel to my design so I went straight for my favourite chunky rustic pearls. I also found some faceted garnets which picked up the red nicely. A little wrapping with some bronze wire (I will oxidise these eventually but my LOS is at the bottom of a box somewhere between studios) and voila -nothing fancy but pretty none-the-less.



Many thanks to Jenny for her lovely charms and If you'd like to see what the rest of the team created just use the links below.

  5. Lovely. Infinitely wearable. I like the smooth pearl, the faceted garnet and the more crusty surface of the clay. A trio of textures.

    And my hats off to you for creating during renovations. Wow. Thanks for participating!!!
