I know this is late, but I already had the beads out and knew what I wanted to make and well, this holiday weekend was busy so it didn't quite happen on time. That's how things seem to fly right now.
Isn't the picture the
Art Bead Scene picked out so nice to look at:
I would love to have this painting in my house. Or better yet, to cross stitch this beautiful image. I couldn't find a cross stitch pattern for the exact pattern, but found some others on the
Scarlet Quince website, just as beautiful.
Instead it is used as a muse for my jewelry. When I first saw this picture, the only thing that stood out to me were the pretty pinks and purples in the big flower with a very muted background. That's all I could picture in my head.
So here is where this inspiration led me:
A necklace inspired from the painting and from the book
Bohemian Inspired Jewelry by Lorelei Eurto and Erin Siegel.
The pretty pink focal is from
Gaea. The rondelles are some kind of stone that I've had for a long time and it varies in color from muted pinks to deep purple pinks to pink green and then a deep forest green. These are braided onto a grey waxed linen cord and finished with a flower pewter button. I recently, before this challenge, got the cute hummingbird charms and thought they fit in well.
A soft pretty necklace. Very different from last month's challenge!
