Art Jewelry Element - February Component of the Month Reveal

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!

  1. That's pretty! You put your twist on it but allowed the disc to remain very much the center of attention.

  9. I 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!

  11. A lariat is such a great idea for this component. I have never made one either, but yours is inspiring. Thanks for joining us!
