I've been having tons of fun playing with the pieces and the techniques I learned in Heather Powers' Wings & Dreams class at the Adornments Retreat last month! I thought I'd do a super quick post sharing some of what I've come up with so far. I still have a few painted butterflies and a bunch of leaves to play with, but here's what I've completed over the past week.
 |
| These posies were supposed to be for earrings, but I decided to go with pendants instead! If only I could find the cutter for this flower... I want more of these and can't find one. :( |
 |
| Only the top leaf in the pendant is my handiwork (and the patina on the brass leaf too!) The "Hope" bead is by Diane Hawkey. I'm wishing I had picked up more of her word beads. |
 |
| I had fun with patinas, rivets, and metal stamping for this one! It's a little more vibrant than my normal work. |
 |
| I'm so glad my vision worked for this one! I had to slightly modify the butterfly filigree from Vintaj to attach my polymer clay creation on top, but I made it work! I wanted to veer away from the monochromatic so I added some pops of turquoise. |
 |
| This is actually a holdover project from Heather's Inspired by Nature Retreat last year. I made the fern imprinted polymer clay circle at the retreat (also the beads) and then used her metal sketching technique on a copper blank. My rivets are a tiny bit off center, but that's ok. |
These are all great. My favorites are the last two. Excellent work and color combinations. I hope you can find that posie cutter sometime; it's an excellent flower!
