The
February Art Bead Scene challenge is "Luna Park" by Vestie Davis. It's a really cute painting, with red and blue and hearts as the highlights. I created the bracelet below to enter into the challenge.
I made a three-strand bracelet with turquoise seed beads, sterling silver heart chain, and my own wire wrapped lampwork beads. It was challenging for me (you should have heard my language!!) connecting the heart chain and the seed bead layer, but it worked out, and one can actually wear the bracelet, too.
This is a closeup of the focal bead I made. I really like it. It's clear glass, with red endcaps, and I twisted a handmade twistie onto it, made of red, turquoise and clear. I really like how it turned out!
The other beads I made were pale aqua and red. The clasp is a heart toggle clasp, which also goes with the theme. Challenging myself to get this done, and using the idea that was in my head, was really good for me this week - after all these snow days and delays and endless snow, I
needed a distraction!
