Au début du mois le blog Art Jewelry Element a lancé un défi sur le thème des arbres et je me suis précipitée. Puis est venue la rentrée, et j’ai oublié. Dimanche, panique.
J’ai sorti tout ce qui pouvait correspondre au thème. J’ai imaginé du tissage, de la broderie mais évidemment en m’y prenant si tard, impossible à réaliser à temps.
Alors j’ai choisi un pendentif de Blueberribeads qui me fait penser à une forêt enchantée. J’ai pensé tissage free form, mais là encore manque de temps. J’ai pioché dans mes perles recyclées d’Emmaüs, choisi du bois, du cuir, des graines, du lin, quelques perles indonésiennes pour accompagner mon pendentif.
Et un oiseau de Lorna Johnston et une minuscule feuille de Starry Road Studio.
At the beginning of the month, the Art Jewelry Element blog invited us to a tree-themed challenge and I was immediately in. Then school started and I forgot about it. Sunday I remembered, I panicked.
I took out everything that suited the theme. I imagined embroidery, weaving but obviously I had not enough time left.
So I chose a Blueberribeads pendant that makes me think of an enchanted forrest and I thought free-form peyote but then again no time.
I took out recycled wood beads from the thrift store, leather, linen, seeds, some Indonesian beads to accompany my pendant.
And a Lorna Johnston bird bead and a tiny Starry Road Studio ceramic leaf.
Et puis, quelques feuilles plus tard des boucles d’oreilles aux couleurs du passage à l’automne.
Then some leaves later I had a pair of earrings in colors of coming fall.

Et maintenant, allons faire un saut chez tous les participants,
Oh Darn, I totally forgot about this challenge; I had meant to participate in it. Your necklace looks great – with a mix of Japanese and western European flavors

What an interesting composition – from the verticals of the \ »trees\ » in the pendant to the horizontals of the beads you used. Glad you could join us – and made it in time!

I love your colours so restful and so autumnal, sometimes simple is just perfectly beautiful and your designs reflect that.

The way you combined all those elements into the necklace is spectacular. Sometimes not having enough time for what you originally planned is a good thing. And those earrings are perfection.
