I'm
so excited to be one of the guest designers for the AJE
February Component of the Month Challenge! The lovely components for
February's challenge were made by Francesca
Watson. Hand-cut copper disc, enameled in beautiful colors and
then accented with silver "pebbles".
When I
received Francesca's component, I knew exactly what I wanted to make.
I have always
wanted a lariat necklace and the component seem perfect.
The
pendant had so many lovely colors and I just happened to have
complimentary beads in my stash. It's hard to tell in my photo's, but
the light blue color of the small seed beads is in the pendant. I
also had some Czech glass beads in my stash that matched the colors
in the pendant very well.
Thank
you AJE and Francesca, for the opportunity to participate in your
monthly challenge!

Enjoy
your day!
That's pretty! You put your twist on it but allowed the disc to remain very much the center of attention.
ReplyDeleteI do love lariats, and your color choices are perfect to showcase Francesca's disc. Bet you'll be wearing this a lot! Great job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece! I am so happy you were able to participate this month!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great lariat. I love the length and all the color in it. Very nice.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous Kym! I have never made a lariat, yours is fantastic! Thanks for playing along!
ReplyDeleteI have never made a lariat either! Do you wear them, Kym? I think that may be part of my disconnect with that necklace design. Never worn one... yours is lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, the beads you selected compliment Francesca's piece perfectly! What a great design idea :) Lovely job!
ReplyDeleteA lariat is such a great idea for this component. I have never made one either, but yours is inspiring. Thanks for joining us!
