AJE Component of the Month - Jennifer Stout Cameron!

Today is the reveal for the Art Jewelry Elements Component of the Month!  This month, Jennifer Stout Cameron of Glass Addictions provided us with a pair of glass headpins she made! 

I'm afraid I wasn't too imaginative, in that I made earrings from the pair.  While I wanted them to be dangles on something, like a bracelet, earrings just kept calling to me!  These are as close to mis-matched earrings as I will ever get!  The headpins came with a very long piece of copper and I cringed when I cut it - what if I dind't like the earrings I made?  Well, too bad, Sue, you'll have to live with it when you cut!  I feel like I need to add one more dangle to the earrings, and then I'll be happy with them!

Please stop by Art Jewelry Elements blog to see what everyone else made with their wonderful headpins!  And thanks Jennifer for the amazingly wonderful headpins!

Love these Sue - I have a real thing for chain earrings at the moment.

Beautiful earrings! I love the earthy colors. Like you, I was frightened of cutting the long wire which I think really hampered my creativity because I really wanted to make something other than a pair of earrings.

I love these! I am all about long earrings lately, and these would be a go-to for their color and their swinginess. Thank you for sharing your talent with us! Enjoy the day. Erin

Sue! You crack me up. Talking to yourself and sharing that conversation with us. It is kind of scary to cut the wire...

Thanks for participating! I love the earrings!

I think they look wonderful! I'm with you, I just can't do mismatched in earrings. I love the soft, swingey feel of these Sue!

Oh - the green and the blue! Thats a sweet pair of headapins. I thought earrings - but have a show this weekend and knew a necklace would flesh out my inventory. Two birds and all that.

I like the earrings - i like earrings that move!

These came out great! I like the way you used them on a chain. It works very well. They look like they would be fun to wear.

Very pretty. I love the addition of the wood on the second dangle. These would rock with jeans!

Art Elements February Theme Challenge - Birds of Prey

Cathy Mendola chose Birds of Prey for the theme this month, and it's a pretty awesome theme. You are going to see some amazing work by my team members and the guests who have participated this month! I had plans of doing more than I did, as indicated by the purchases I made for the projects I had in my head. However, I have been doing some work in my house, so whenever time permitted, meaning after work and weekend hours, we were pretty much doing the room renovations. One of them is going to be my study/studio, and I seem to be foiled at every move by trying to get some work tables. So I have only one small project to show you this month.  But first, the purchases!

This first Bali carved owl totem I got from fifirosedesigns on etsy - I wanted to make a mold and make my own cabochon to use in a necklace. However, I really did get around to doing that. So, I purchased the owl heads below.

These owl head cabochons are from ArtisticVariations84 on etsy - they are just fantastic, but …

Art Elements April Theme Challenge - Repurpose

The AE Theme Challenge this month is Repurpose chosen by Lesley. Great subject, and I wish I had more time to work on it. The day job kind of takes away my creative energy at times, and this month is no exception! However I did manage to do a few things!

The first thing I thought of for the theme was something I had been thinking about for a long time. I remembered I had this magazine that repurposed those desiccant containers you get in pill bottles into beaded beads. I set out to find that magazine in my stash.



I'm glad I found it, because it was actually driving me nuts as to where it was. Here are some photos of me in the process of making some of these beads.





So the first one I made, I liked ok. But noticed on the end that you could see the white container through the ends. So I got a sharpie out for the next one, and colored the ends so they didn't look so white.



Then I made a few more of these beads, and quite honestly, I was done with it. If I get back to them, I'l…
