Wonder and Whimsy Monthly Challenge - December Reveal

Well, here it is: the last day of 2020.

So, why not end the year with a blog reveal! :)

At the beginning of the month, I shared that December's Wonder and Whimsy challenge was going to be playing around with two different palettes I dreamt about in November. (Literally, they were from a dream I had.)

Now, I didn't really make much--finished one necklace and started one other--but I still had a lot of fun designing with such bright cheerful colors.

So, without further ado... Here is what I made!

Palette 1

This necklace is one that I actually started thinking about in November, right after I had the dream. Still, it wasn't until this month that I started actually assembling it. Complete with dyed agate, amethyst, both Czech glass and regular glass, and goldtone metal, I am really pleased with how it turned out!

Palette 2

You will notice that this tassel necklace is incomplete... I just ran out of time, and wasn't able to finish. (Well, and I also got distracted by the gorgeous Swarovski crystals I got for Christmas. Hah!) The materials for this tassel--and the rest of the necklace, when I get around to it--include glass, Czech glass, dyed quartz, and pearl.

So, there you go! Those are what I created from the palettes I dreamt about. I am certainly not done poking at them, either... I look forward to playing around with them some more in the future!

Thank you so much for stopping by today to see what I made!

Have a lovely end of your year, everyone! See you in 2021!

Wonder and Whimsy Monthly Challege - December Edition

The beginning of December has been a bit of a whirlwind here. I find that tends to be the case for me, especially when my Novembers are dedicated to writing words for NaNo and making earrings everyday. 

...That's a long-winded way for me to say, "Oops, I'm late in posting my challenge for this month!" Heh.

Now, for my December Monthly Challenge, I usually tend towards more winter-centric designs. Comes from living in the Northern Hemisphere, I suppose. This month, however, I have decided to do something a little different. You see, last month, I actually had a dream with two different color palettes... and I'm super excited to play around with them.

So, that's my challenge, short and simple: to make something using these palettes from my dream!

Palette 1

Palette 2

They're both so bright and cheerful! 

Now, I actually started making things with the first palette last month, but I haven't touched the second one yet. It makes me think of a sunset. And summer. And things that don't involve snow or evergreens, hah.

So! Come on by on Thursday, December 31st to see what I end up making! (I usually do the last Friday, but that day this month is actually Christmas. I figure I'll take that day off!) 

And thank you so much for stopping by today... Have a wonderful day, everyone!
