Last spring I joined in Firefly Design Studio’s jewelry design challenge, and it was a lot of fun. So I decided to join in again. The way the design challenge works is that everybody purchases a set of Michelle’s beautiful ceramic jewelry components (above.) Then we each design and create a set of jewelry using all the components plus whatever else we want to add.
She also includes a single component from a guest artist, which is rather fun. This time it was the copper teardrop shape that I used as a dangle at the bottom of my necklace.
The kits of components are available in two different colorways, and this time I chose colors that are quite out of my comfort zone. However, I have to say after completing this project I was really pleased and I’m looking forward to wearing these, my usual colors or not.
The fun thing about this design challenge is that you get a chance to vote on your favorites. Voting is open from Monday, November 14 through Friday, November 18. Go to the Firefly Design Studio Challenge Facebook page, check out all the designs, and click like and or add a comment to your favorites. Likes and comments will both count as votes for your favorite items.
I think it’s really fun to see what different people come up with using the exact same set of components. People’s creativity never ceases to amaze me!
How cool is that?? Good luck!
Thank you! I think it’s brilliant marketing on her part, and a win for everyone involved.
