Amy has designed an Etsy treasury for each participant and the instructions were as follows:
Use the inspiration from that treasury to create ANY piece of jewelry. Earrings, necklace, bracelet, rings, all of the above, whatever you like. On August 14, post the screen shot and link to the treasury you were given, along with whatever you were inspired to make, and a list of the hoppers provided by Amy.
Here's the link to my treasury Hot Sunday
I was inspired by the colour red and also the bow that featured in the treasury. I have been wanting to introduce material into my designs for a while and came up with this bracelet which includes satin cord and black onyx strung through on black wire.
In my stash I also had some gorgeous red glass beads which are half coated with a kind of aurora borealis glaze. The beads came from a necklace I found in a charity shop and now they live again!
I tried for ages to think of something else to add to this bracelet but in the end, it looked best as below - the beads are so shimmery!
Earrings made with the same beads and vintage brass wire.
Hair grips wrapped with vintage brass wire.
I'm really pleased with the way these turned out.
And here's the list of hoppers...enjoy!

Thanks to Amy for organising this blog hop, I really enjoyed being a part of it and can't wait to hop around everyone else!
Wow you came up with alot! I think the first bracelet is my favorite, really bold and modern looking!
ReplyDeleteI love those colors! Can't believe how much you came up with! They are all beautiful and I love the bow on the first one!
ReplyDeleteI love this silk bracelet. This is really cool, elegant - seems perfect for a cocktail dress..... ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour silk bracelet is very elegant, I have tried to do a bracelet like that for a little girl and it didn't work out very well. Yours is divine.
ReplyDeleteBlack and red allways works, but that silk ribbon makes wonders!
ReplyDeleteI love that first bracelet.
Oh wow all of your pieces are gorgeous! I really like the bracelet with the satin cord and black onyx. I have been wanting to use ribbon with a design but have not stepped out of my zone and tried it yet.
