My partner Charlene Sevier sent some beautiful"soup ingredients". My challenge was scale and value. The lovely silver focal was almost the same size as the turquoise beads, so I made a polymer and faux enamel piece to carry the silver focal pendant. I wanted to use the almost white bead that was included, but it looked too light in value, so I dyed it and bundled it in silver wire with dots to match the clasp and the pendant. I chose not to use the dark small beads.

I inherited a box of neckties and I have turned some of them into fun chunky bangles. They are lightweight, chunky fat, and fashion fabulous.
More chunky bangles, this time I used vintage fabrics and sari silk. Yes...they too are chunky fat, flexible, and fashion fabulous.
They are featured on Moxie Gallery click here to see more.

The Moxie Cuff class...you are in for a big surprise when you find out what you will use for a cuff base. Bet you can't make just one...
One of a kind pendants will be featured on Moxie Gallery. You will be able to purchase them and use them as part of your art jewelry designs or simply attach them to a silk cord and wear them layered with other necklaces. The one on the left is an original mini water media art piece heavily sealed for wear. The one on the right is a handcrafted collage bead with a silk tassel. This one has been sold.
Hand crafted collage beads is what I made for the February 2011 Art Bead Scene challenge. The cuff base plate is collaged and heavily sealed for wear. Visit the Art Bead Scene site to see what inspired this wrist cuff.
I will be teaching a similar cuff technique at Art and Soul Portland, registration and information here.
It was a cold day in Paris... I found someone else he said, as he packed a bag and left me, leaving behind his favorite navy blazer and red silk tie. In anger and tears, I ripped the blazer to shreds, cut up the tie, and tore into the jewelry he had gifted me....Today I design artisan jewelry and accessories from those shreds of fabric, buttons off the blazer, and bits of broken jewelry. Every piece has a story...SWEET REVENGE !!!
The soup is done...what fun it was to make.
