Last November Michelle over at Firefly Design Studio<\/a> started\u00a0up a new jewelry design challenge.<\/p>\n

\"paisley<\/a><\/p>\n

She made these lovely ceramic paisley components in two different color ways: neutrals and brights. I chose the neutrals.<\/p>\n

It was then our job to use all those pieces, along with a bonus lampwork bead from Shannon at BlueBlazes Lampwork<\/a> (I LOVE that name!) to design a set of jewelry.<\/p>\n

\"paisley<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Click on any of the photos for a closer look.<\/em><\/p>\n

You can see Shannon’s bead below the bird’s nest in the necklace. I made several polymer clay components to go with the ceramics, as well as the wire nest, daisy, tangled ball and the clasp.<\/p>\n

I also added the focal dangles to a short length of magatama beaded kumihimo braid.<\/p>\n

\"paisley<\/a><\/p>\n

I used the head pins and more polymer clay paisleys to make asymmetrical earrings.<\/p>\n

\"paisley<\/a><\/p>\n

For the\u00a0bracelet I made a copper clasp and a round polymer clay component, then strung everything on waxed linen twine.<\/p>\n

This bracelet is so comfortable to wear because the paisley piece is curved. And since the clasp is so pretty, it doesn’t matter if the bracelet turns upside down. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"paisley<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is my whole set. This is the image that your “like” will count as a vote on, the one with all three pieces together.<\/p>\n

Go see all the designs and VOTE\u00a0on your favorites at the Firefly Design Studio Challenge Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s so interesting to see the variety of\u00a0ways these same pieces were used by different designers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
