Art Jewelry Elements Component of the Month Reveal - Diana

It is that time again.  I am realizing I need to pay a bit more attention to my blog but for today I am revealing what I made this month.

Aren't these the best!  Diana of Suburban Girl created these amazing rustic donuts for us to play with this month.  Once again I need to remember to take a picture of the component but a funny thing happens when any of our team member sends the component of the month.  I instantly run up to the bead room, of course after I open the package and squeeeeee for a bit, and gather beads.

I have been reading Game of Thrones for the first time and I was completely inspired to create something along that theme.  I call it Winter is Coming.


I love the colors Diana glazed on this donut and I had no trouble finding beads to match, partly because I am addicted to her stoneware pieces and make sure I have the rustic colors on hand and partly because they are my go to colors.

So I highly recommend you go and snatch one of these up for yourself and show Diana what you create.  But first hop over to the AJE blog to see what everyone else has created.

  2. I don't know how you managed it , Kristen, but this necklace makes me want to cuddle up in front of a fire to ward off the winds of winter. It evokes such a comforting feeling and feels cozy and warm. I've never had this happen with a piece of jewelry before. Thick knitted sweaters and scarves yes, but never from a piece of jewelry. Brilliant.

  7. How you string such intricate and beautiful things with seed beads always amazes me, Kristen. Such patience you have. "Winter is Coming" captures the feel perfectly. As I write this we are having a winter-like storm in August, and your gorgeous necklace feels right at home. Amazing design and beading skill! Love this necklace!
