Melissa over at Chinook Designs put out a virtual design challenge where you have to say what you would do with the focal piece she put up on her blog.
The piece was this oh so sweet little fired heart she made and sells on her Etsy store - Chinook Designs.
So now the fun part was cruising Etsy and coming up with a design as to how I would work this little gem into a design! :)
Here's what I would pair it all up!
I first thought that I would combine these lovely Vintage Pearl Drops from Beed Happy.
As well as some of these gorgeous Cherry Quartz beads from Better Than Retail.
And of course I have to add in my metal components - you know how I looooove metal!!! So I threw in this antique bronze chain from Beads4All.
And these fun pieces from UpsyDaisy....
And to top it all off and throw in a softness I am going with this beautiful recycled sari ribbon from jmozart.
Can't you just see it all now?? This was a fun virtual challenge...anyone can play along! I would love to see what YOU do with it. Even if you aren't a jewelry maker you can play...just think of colors, styles, textures and put em all together!!!! Have fun! Let me know if you played along!
