April AJE Component of the Month - Jenny Davies-Reazor

This month, Jenny Davies-Reazor provided us with amulets for the Component of the Month Challenge!  Yep, forgot to take a photo of the one I got before I used it, but here's what she made!

Here's the one I received.  Notice the bottom of the amulet - so awesome!




I chose the stone Angelite to go with the amulet I received.  I've always been attracted to this stone and have a small hoard of it.  Little did I know that Angelite really speaks to me!  Here's why:

Angelite is associated with the Throat Chakra.  It so happens that I am a thyroid cancer survivor.  Angelite is also a stone for creative people!  Angelite helps the wearer raise conscious awareness and promotes peace.  You can see more about Angelite on Caryl Haxwoth's page - very interesting!

So here's what I made.  I chose to keep it simple on purpose.  I was going to try and fashion some sort of "lid" for the amulet out of a silver disc, or go to Michaels and get a cork, but chose to leave it open.  I used simple silver chain, as well, because I just think the amulet and the angelite are pretty good the way they are!


I hope you enjoyed my necklace!  Stop by and see what everyone else made with one of Jenny's Amulets!

I don't think I'd ever heard of angelite, so I'm glad to know about it now. It's beautiful. More and more, I'm making simple designs so the beads I love can shine. You did that perfectly here with the gorgeous amulet and perfectly coordinated beads.

Aw, I love the hidden flower on the bottom of the amulet! Such a nice touch! I wear a kyanite pendant for the same reason as you chose the angelite. The stone works so well with your amulet too!

I like that you left it open so all that peace and awareness can cycle around you through your throat chakra.

Its perfect as is - you have created a personal amulet honoring your affinity with the stone and a part of your personal journey. Wow. Things happen for a reason. Thank you Sue. Wear it well!

I love the angelite and the calm simplicity of your design. Oddly enough, when my daughter Elayne and my hubby were in BeadFX in Toronto 2 years ago, they both (unknown to each other) fell in love with angelite and he bought her a strand, not realizing she did too....out of their huge inventory of gemstones. It is a perfect colour for her!! And your lovely design has given me an idea regarding a lovely gemstone I bought in Portugal...yay!!

AE Component of the Month - July - Scarabs by Me!

I provided the scarab beads for the Component of the Month Challenge over at Art Elements for July! And as usual, didn't take a photo of my own bead before I started working with it.  But here is the one I used - unfortunately, you can't see the lustrous oil slick colors of this black metallic glass because once again we have cloudy days here in Pittsburgh. I made a choker length necklace using spiral stitch and these awesome seed beads that go so well with this black metallic glass! I used hematite swarovski crystals to divide the bead stitching and the scarab focal bead; I actually ordered a pile of pairs of various black swarovski colors and decided that these match the best! I finished off the necklace with the ball socket clasp - it's a nice way to finish a spiral stitch - the size is just right and it's fairly easy to sew into the design. Please check out what our guests and team members made with their scarabs! And thanks to everyone who took par...
