We began our journey in Canada with Monique and her challenge of the National Gallery of Canada. And now we end our series of the Creative Continuum of 7 Artists in Canada with the polymer extraordinaire Emma of A Polymer Penchant. 
This month Emma sent out a stash of beads including a beautiful pendant of polymer that she made which looks a bit like fireworks. She's sending us off in style.Her challenge for July is just the perfect final celebration for our group of seven. I decided to string it with some simple silk thread and knot the stash of matching beads Emma sent. I created a faint braiding with the thread which I think gives it a bit of a romantic look.
To finish up my set, I used some unusual beads that Emma sent that are hoops with balls along the outer edge. I stacked them to look a bit like a burst of fireworks. At least that is what I saw as I stacked and twisted the ensemble together.
I'm going to miss our monthly get togethers with this group. We've had a lot of fun trying out all sorts of beads and styles. Thank you all for a great ride!
Check out the rest of the crew's final projects: Alicia (our host), Emma (this month's featured artist), Therese, Christine, Monique and Sally
Loving this piece Cynthia. The simple knotted braiding lets the focal shine. And those earrings are just plain fun, fun, fun. Great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Cynthia, I like how you went simple in your necklace design, but yet it makes a statement. You and I made similar earrings with the twirlly bop thingies. I forgot to post so I will be posting when I get home from work.
