A few weeks back Sally from The Studio Sublime created the One Crayon Colour Challenge: you pick a colour and create a monochromatic design. This I can do! The challenge? to finish before due date, May 5th (coincidentally my birthday). Not one to pass a fun opportunity, I entered it with - of course - my favourite colour: blue. If make something, at least make it blue!
And here they are (I got 2, not one!)
After finishing it - on my table I found some beautiful sky-blue freshwater pearls (yes, I have a messy table... see last week's post about just that :)). I cannot pass light blue beads in the store, I wouldn't pass them on my table either. After mulling over them for a little bit I decided on a waterfall design. Added a few Swarovski bicones and out came a splendid majestic looking necklace! Because I was having way too much fun - I made a pair of earrings: for an evening attire the set will be adding the perfect touch of glamour and elegance. During the day - only the necklace or only the earrings will probably enough :)
These are my 2 creations - and a quick reminder for this month giveaway - you can win a heart set right here!
Please make sure to visit the other wonderful participants and enjoy their beautiful monochrome creations!

Am loving the blue necklace...has a very "cooling" effect on my eyes :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kashmira - you started the hop early :)
DeleteGorgeous Butterfly - so delicate and detailed and perfect! (and it looks like it was a lot of work, too!!) Love the necklace - blue pearls are so yummy!!
ReplyDeleteI love your necklace. The butterfly is beautiful too. The necklace certainly reminds me of a day by the Caribbean. Just beautiful. Great job!
ReplyDeleteHi Alicia,
ReplyDeleteI love your delicate butterfly and your gorgeous necklace and earring set. I have a thing for butterflies too. The necklace does remind me of a cool waterfall cascading down a steep mountain cliff.

You absolutely have to make more of those butterflies -- they're awesome! I could see you making a statement necklace with lots of those butterflies on them! And the Y-necklace -- love that style, and you chose lovely shades!
ReplyDeleteI love the cascade of the necklace - really pretty and feminine design!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely set! I love the soft sweet colors, and the cascade bead design.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlicia, I love the necklace and earring set, but I am completely smitten with that butterfly you so beautifully created! Gorgeous! Butterflies are my favorite too!!! Thank you so much for joining me and challenging your creativity with the one crayon color challenge!!
I know exactly how you feel about blue - my favorite color as well! That butterfly is absolutely wonderful! And I love the light blue pearls! Very nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love the necklace. It does look like a wonderful waterfall. And your butterfly is gorgeous as well. I agree with Lori. It would look awesome as a necklace focal or several together would make an awesome statement necklace.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday !
ReplyDeleteLa mulţi ani , mult noroc şi fericire !
Şi la cât mai multe şi frumoase creaţii şi realizări !

ReplyDeleteThat butterfly is super neat and your blue waterfall is simply eye-catching and elegant. What beautiful uses of blue! Nicely done. :)

The necklace and earrings are so elegant, and the butterfly is striking. What a lovely combination of shades you included in your pieces. It's easy to see that you love working with blues!
ReplyDeleteAlicia! I just love that elegant and lovely butterfly! So beautiful... And the necklace and earrings are gorgeous too!
