It’s a lucky coincidence that I have something for this month’s Art Bead Scene challenge. I’d just made a pair of earrings to co-ordinate with the Bronze Oddment necklace I made a while ago and, as I was uploading them to my etsy store, I realised the colours were perfect for this month’s painting.

Here are the earrings. I used polymer clay beads which I made myself together with glass seed beads. They are attached to tiny brass washers I found in an old bracelet and bronze coloured niobium ear-wires. I like how the shards of polymer clay suggest the falling leaf motif of the curtain.

And here’s a new image of the necklace they were made to co-ordinate with.

Every time I looked at your pieces, I was drawn to how much they seemed to mimic the palette in the curtains especially. And they are lovely pieces to boot!
Thanks. It surprised me how well the colours matched 🙂
Isn’t it wonderful when serendipity strikes like that? Fun little earrrings.

I love it when a plan comes together, especially by accident 😉
Both of your pieces mirror the colors in the inspiration perfectly.
Thanks 🙂
