You may recall my post last month about the Lampwork and Clay Blog Hop that I signed up for. At that time, I showed you the beads by SheriBeads that I received to design with.

I immediately pulled out a lovely goddess bead made by my friend, Louise, of FireSeed to go along with the others.

I set a lofty goal for myself...to create a piece in the style of Phaedra Torres that she refers to as 'unwearable jewelry'. See an example of her work below...

| Designed By Phaedra Torres |
She works in mixed media, utilizing found objects and a free-form design style that appeals to me.
Well, I'm not sure if I failed or succeeded in my attempt. My finished piece is almost so unwearable that I might actually wear it...or maybe not. I haven't quite decided yet. What do you think?

I think you succeeded! And, you can still wear it! :) Great job following your vision Bonnie!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun design. I think it's unwearable enough for you to wear.
ReplyDeleteGreat concept. And that goddess bead is amazing. I think it's fit for a goddess to un-wear.
ReplyDeleteI like it, Bonnie! Just unwearable enough to be wearable, if you know what I mean. :-) Thanks for being in the hop!
ReplyDeleteI would wear it! I really love how it came together.....thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I love how you combined the different components.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I thinks it's an "unwearable" definite WEARABLE! Love the variety of media!
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome beads. And that gorgeous focal fits right in. I think you nailed her piece. And I would definitely wear it.
ReplyDeleteI like it! I'd give it a try and see if you feel comfortable wearing it. It seems quite wearable to me, but a few hours in it and time will tell! :-) Enjoy your lovely piece of art, one way or another!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely pulled that one off. I am really liking the swingy and eclectic styling of this piece.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that focal and your necklace. You created a wonderful necklace that anyone would love to wear. Well done!
