AJE Component of the Month

Hi, everyone.  Today is the reveal for the Art Jewelry Elements Component of the Month.  Linda Landig made these fabulous clay leaf pendants in the most gorgeous fall colors.  The one I received is the pale green one with the yellow-gold leaf on the right side of the picture.




Is the picture just gorgeous?  All those leaves just falling all over the place.

I did some thinking and pondering over what I wanted to do.  I received my monthly goody box from Blueberry Cove Beads and it had the perfect beads for me to use.  I used the yellow shell chips, the mottled orange round beads and the brown mottled round beads.  I added gold daisy spacers and green rondells.  I used an asymmetrical beading pattern and away I went.

 

Isn't that pendant just gorgeous!

 

I used a spring ring clasp and attached it to one of the wires on the pendant.

 

I love how it turned out and will be adding a bracelet and earrings to the set.

 

Please let me know what you think and be sure to visit the other bloggers.

I can't believe it has been almost a month since the last time I posted.  Where does the time go?

      I won a guest pass to The Whole Bead Show in Lynnwood from Kristi Bowman of Kristi Bowman Design for the first weekend in May.  I met Kristi and Linda Landig of Linda Landig Jewelry.  Both very nice ladies.  Linda was there helping Kristi.

Kristi had some of her components and also some of her finished jewelry.  I bought several of her components.

Not sure if you can really see how gorgeous these components of Kristi's are.  I bought a Tree of Life, some small leaves, five petal flowers, and drop or egg shaped components with one hole at the top and three holes at the bottom and a snakeskin texture down the center.

.

I also visited Judith Billig, a lampwork bead maker, and bought some autumn colored leaves and matching spacers.  I have learned that if I don't buy the autumn colors when I see them, I will be out of luck later.  Now to come up with a design.


I visited several other vendors and bought some other beads which I will have to cover in my next post as I am out of time tonight.

Thanks for stopping by.  Comments are welcome any time.  Just have to figure out how to reply to them.
