      There is a feeling of peace and calm whenever I do something that is far beyond what my day at the office is.  I like spending time at home and being creative.  This challenge was a long process that took about 3 weeks of my free time to finish.  
I love making cabochons from polymer clay so I made 3 teardrops using the Rocky Path technique that I have shared in this blog a couple of times.  Doesn't it look like stones?

The embroidery took about 4 nights to finish and that includes sewing and unsewing the beads. LOL.  I am happy with how it turned out but I think I will add a picot beads on the border... perhaps I will write a post blog article on that.

In the meantime, let's head over to The Studio Sublime and see more beautiful pieces.

[Jewelry Challenge] The Studio Sublime's Black and White Challenge

Hello friends!   
Today is the day for the Black & White Challenge at The Studio Sublime, hosted by Ms. Sally Russick.  "The objective of the challenge was simple - to design a piece of jewelry using black and white color palette. Participants were also able to use base metal colors or crystals as accents."

 Most of my pieces are pretty much colorful hence, joining the challenge was really a challenge.  You know by now that I work with polymer clay and I love floral themes so, I made my first black and white cane.  It was a task to cleanly combine black and white polymer clay but it turned out nice.  What do you think?


I made a large focal pendant with 2 smaller flower beads on the side -  I attached a tube bead behind the flowers and stringed them using flexible beading wire.  Black wooden round, disc, beads, white square beads and a toggle clasp were added to complete the necklace.

The necklace measures 22 inches and drapes nicely on the neck.

Please pardon the poor photo quality.  It was a challenge to take photos at night using white light bulbs.  Well, that is another story.

Time to head over The Studio Sublime to see other black and white lovelies.  Thanks for stopping by Cabby Craft !
