Sarajo of SJ Designs Jewelry has a monthly challenge – the Honey Do List. Her husband, Eric, who takes great photos, chooses one to inspire her jewelry making. She invites us to play along. The photos can be interpreted so many ways; it’s fun to see what everyone comes up with, including myself!
This month’s photo is an ornate door in Prague.
The softer color and ornate floral-like designs contrasts so wonderfully with the harder metal and rivets. I just love it.
I had the materials below grouped for a while, but the project just wasn’t coming together for one reason or another.
I didn’t use the gears or some gunmetal square beads by Joan Miller that I thought I would, but I used everything else.
The heart pendant, matching rivet beads and black and red connectors are by Joan Miller. The red and grey/silver bumpy beads are by Nikki Thornburg.
I originally thought of doing something with tin or other metal for this challenge, but I couldn’t pass up the chance to use beads that reminded me so much of the inspiration photo. The challenge helped me finish up an only partly there idea!
Thanks Eric and Sarajo! Visit Sarajo’s blog to see what others made.
I love EVERYTHING that Joan Miller creates! You took her components and created a beautiful necklace. I especially love the unique chain that you used. It works so perfectly with everything you put together!
OMG… those Joan Miller pieces are so fabulous and just perfect for Eric’s inspiration photo! I adore the necklace you made. That chain is super cool. Thanks for playing along with us. I always enjoy seeing what you come up with! I hope you’ll check back on April 1st to see what Eric dreams up for us next.
Well done! I love the steampunk look to this.
