Hosted by the fabulously talented Lindsay Star! This was a fun challenge for me. I moved in October and am working on the house and still have boxes everywhere. Well, I decided to take the spare room with two windows and a door that's all window! Tons of light! So, I got my jewelry table set up and my lampworking table set up but not the torch yet. I was chomping at the bit to do something and was thrilled to be chosen for this challenge. I received a fabulous fused glass donut made by
SueBeads in beautiful ocean colors. So, that is the direction I went in for my pendant. I hope you like it.
This first photo isn't so great but I want you to see all the colors inside of it. This was a hard piece to photograph because of the depth of the piece.
So, here it is on proper lighting. I used a piece of hand dyed silk a friend gave me last month as a background. It looks like a sandy beach!
Here is the list of all the participants. Please visit each one and enjoy the fabulous creations from everyone! Thanks SO much Lindsay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic Patty, and thanks for playing along with us! I agree, photo's never do Sue's work justice, especially on her cabs and fused donuts. I have one very similar to this so I know exactly how you feel.
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous component and a stunning design. Definitely one to wear on the beach!
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming piece, I never quiet know what to do with donuts so tend not to use them.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean Niky. Donuts are limiting but if you go for it I think they make beautiful pendants. I had so much fun with this challenge.
Deletethat blue is gorgeous, it glows! I love the dangles and the style.
