Cool pics my sister took of some cute paper dolls that were hanging around my What a Load of Craft booth last December.

My most recent design for the Vintaj Idea Gallery. Carved Hearts, designed for March 2012′s Forest Friends theme which was to incorporate blushy pinks and fresh greens.
Fresh greens and pretty pinks remind me of Spring! Slowly these colors fill the woods, a few brave birds sing away the winter blues, and small creatures come out of hiding. Heather’s woodland beads have always been some of my favorite and these pretty hearts are no exception! I knew I wanted to hang them both from a flattened branch and clustered with brass leaves and Czech glass. This asymmetrical design really shows off her beautiful pendants.

Very happy with this month’s “Mixed Metals” theme over on Vintaj.com. I was able to combine artisan copper, natural brass and arte metal in both my necklace and earrings for their Idea Gallery. How awesome are all of those metals? I love working with/mixing all three. I had fun making these:

Hello Friends, happy new year! I was browsing through my never ending wish list over at ModCloth (waiting for sales & steals) and happened to notice the more recent saves are in the green family. I decided to pull together a little style board of what I am hoping will be mine this year. How about that amazing satchel? OhJoy had this bag in a giveaway not to long ago but I was not the lucky winner. That’s okay though, I am sure the lucky lady that won is LOVING her new bag as much as I would’ve!

It may seem like I have not been very busy the past couple months but that is not the case. Truth is I have been insanely busy with many great art projects on top off all my everyday work & family tasks. I will be posting some past projects this week, art, crafts, jewelry, craft shows and photography! I am looking forward to 2012 but am gonna take a couple weeks off from freelance to relax. That is as soon as I get two commissioned paintings done this week! Hope you enjoy these few sneak peeks of some recent ladynoble projects.

I am very pleased to be a part of such an awesome blog hop “Paint the World with Your Palette: 2nd Annual Challenge of Color Blog Hop!” The lovely miss Erin from Treasures Found really knows how to host a great hop. Erin even took on the challenge herself but decided she needed to do ALL TWELVE palettes, putting the rest of us slackers (me) in their place. Visit her challenge post to see her colorful designs and awesome photography!
Now for those of you who know me you know that I very interested in creating simple designs where the metal of the jewelry findings shows through. So usually not a lot of beads. You might wonder why I signed up for this hop if I don’t use a lot of beads? Well the reason was to challenge myself and create something based off one of the gorgeous color palettes created by Design Seeds. I first found Design Seeds through one of my design blogs a few months ago and have been an avid follower ever since! With that being said I did chose the color grey – so neutral and perfect for me right?! Erin decided to throw me for a loop and send me a palette that was grey and ORANGE! haha, I think I managed to make it work though. My Autumn Stacked necklace below the Autumn Stacked Design Seeds Palette…
Of course I used Vintaj arte metal for most of my grey coloring. I wanted a distressed look to bring out the different colors of grey so I hammered and relief the metal. I added a few light grey beads and multiple shades of orange czech glass along with one bright orange lampwork bead. (to learn how to distress arte metal check out this helpful video)
I also had the perfect fiber to go with my palette and I love the added texture that this fiber brings to the piece. Plus it feels nice around the neck too! For a creative connector/closure I simple used an arte metal filigree.
Not the best photos but they work! To see the other 53 “Challenge of Color” bloggers visit my tab above ^ my banner. You do not want to miss them, there are so many brilliant designs and wonderful palettes that will inspire you to go create! Thanks for stopping by, I am off to hop!
