For today's entry, I have another reveal! Sarajo Wentling has been continuing her Honey Do List challenge... and for the second month in a row, I've been able to play along. Hurray!
Here is the picture that served as the inspiration for this month:
Here is what Eric, Sarajo's husband, has to say about it:
This is an oldie, from our trip to Prague summers years ago. This is the huge ornate door to the German Consulate and I really loved the metal work and colors in it. Not pictured are the many cameras around the door, and I had some reservations about getting close and taking this shot...luckily no German guards bearing submachine guns came storming out of the gates after me!
At first, I wasn't sure what to make for this challenge. While I was cleaning off my craft table, however, I found a beadwoven flower that I made as an earring prototype last November. (Heh, yes, it's been awhile since I've cleaned off my craft table!) It matched the colors perfectly. The only problem was that, while large enough to be a pendant, it was not entirely stable enough on its own.
A little more rummaging led me to find some flower filigree. So! One thing led to another, and here is the final product:
The chain is made with pearls and glass. The pendant is made with Czech petal beads, seed beads, metal corrugated rounds, and filigree.
Thank you so much for stopping by today to see what I made! And thank you, Sarajo and Eric, for continuing this challenge! It's been a nice thing to focus on, while everything else seems so uncertain and up in the air.
Stay safe, everyone. Wishing you all lovely days--whether you get to spend it outside, or if (like me) you're sheltering-in-place! May there be shiny things that make you smile!
