I am such a procrastinator, which is why I need a good challenge or a deadline to get anything done! After finding the surface of my desk again this afternoon I set out to make my first jewelry of 2015!
I went with 6 projects as my goal because I knew time would be short between other deadlines and the holidays. I pulled out items that fit the colors and themes from Stringing and Create Jewelry magazine submission guidelines.
As soon as I finished my creative session though I had to face reality - I just don't have time to submit these when so many other deadlines are pressing me for time right now.
I will either sell these or use them for free projects on my blog or other projects I need to finish up. I need someone to write up my submissions for me! Where is my bead fairy when I need her.
So what did I make?
The pendant on the left was inspired by the earth tone palette from Create Jewelry and the branchy one on the right fit the themes of fringe or mixed metals.
The tree piece fit the mixed metal theme with copper leaves, shibuichi pendant and gunmetal findings.
I'm not giving many details about the pieces since they will be used in projects featured in other places soon - in case you are wondering.
Scroll down to the original Muffin Tin Challenge post to submit your entry for the challenge. I'm excited to see what everyone has made and feel completely energized by all this productivity!

I love everything you design, Heather! The first set is yummy...I'm loving the earrings - then I realized the ceramic pieces were mine! So awesome!
You clearly do well under pressure! Lovely pieces... my favorites are those turquoise earrings and the earth tones necklace. Yummy all around! Thanks again for hosting this fun challenge!

Wow, Heather, everything is so beautiful! I too, am color hungry. Nothing butto grey skies and rain here in Dayton and your pieces were a veritable feast! My favorite is the hibiscus.
Lovely, lovely, lovely. What beautiful colours. You are certainly right. We need lots of colour these days. I love the combinations you made.
Thanks so much for hosting this challenge.
First, thank you so much for hosting this challenge! Just what I needed to give me a kickstart.
What great designs! I especially like your autumn colors necklace.
Heather,
These are absolutely stunning! I adore all the color, I too am craving color right now. Thank you so much for helping me to kick start my new year of crafting. Thank you for hosting and for encouraging me to try!
All your creations are absolutely fabulous! Thank you for this opportunity to challenge ourself!
Well done! You made some great pieces.
Each and every one of your projects turned out amazingly! I kept trying to pick out a favorite but like them all so much that I can't narrow it down like that. I can't wait to see these projects featured elsewhere and wish that I had thought to do something similar (making for submissions). Oh well, I'm just glad I got some projects completed in the new year. Thanks again for the challenge. It was just what I needed. :)
