It feels official here in FL. The weather has cooled...yeah...so it is beginning to feel a lot like fall/winter. I mean....50 degrees in FL...that is COLD to some, though I like it.
Anyway...everyone is hopping on the holiday bandwagon so I am too. My first Holiday Challenge is by Diana Ptaszynski of Suburban Girl Studio. It is called Halloween/Dad of the Dead Jewelry Blog Hop. My offering is made of clay that was made by a friend several years ago...of course my husband says they look like dogs...but they are really skeleton heads....
I did a coil of black wire and input red satin ribbon in it and capped the ends with Antique Copper styled cones. I then attached the bead with black wire. The earrings are just a smaller version of the main bead.
I am really trying to step out of the box and try different techniques. I like how the wire looks...but it is a bit stiff for my liking. But if the wire was any softer I don't think it would hold as well.
So here is my piece...make sure to hop around to the others listed below to see what spooky pieces they created in their cauldrons.
Thanks for looking and come back soon!
