Persian Garden

I picked the art work for this month's challenge on the Art Bead Scene.  We take turns picking out some of our favorites from art history.  This is a new-to-me fashion illustrator and designer, George Barbier.  So I'm loving the art deco vibe and inspiration.  In fact, I sat down and created a few pieces of jewelry to fit in with the challenge.  I can't win, but I can still play along! 

Isn't that the cutest house pendant - from Rings & Things!

Earrings using leaves from Vintaj, crystal ball beads, Czech glass and Willow Branch Disks in copper.

You can't help but look to the lariat for a quick 1920's flapper inspired fix.  Here I created a very earthy looking one with a wing pendant from Earthenwood Studio, a Vintaj leaf and one of my own etched copper leaves.  I have them paired with wood, ceramic beads from Elaine Ray and Branch Disk beads in lime.

Another pendant with the fawn, the leaves and fawn are my favorite part of the painting!  I paired this one up with leaves from the Patera line, various disk beads, the clasp is a magnetic flower - love it.  The chain is a delicate bar chain from Ornamentea.

I still have a contest coming soon, I haven't forgot - you guys have just been keeping me busy with orders!  Are you planning to enter the Art Bead Scene's challenge this month?  I hope so.
