This month’s challenge from Art Jewelry Elements focused on trees and autumn. My thoughts immediately went to the gorgeous tree pendants that Natalie Fletcher-Jones makes, with a design she carved herself a few years ago. She glazes them in a myriad of different colours and I have a couple of them in my collection, the one I eventually selected glazed in lovely dusky colours.
As I was shuffling through my beads to see what might work with the pendant, I came across a recent selection from The Curiosity Club in just the right combination of soft dusky pinks and purples to go with the necklace. Finished off with a leafy clasp, it has an autumnal feel to it.
Thank you AJE for another great challenge! This is a blog hop, so if you have time, pop over and see what others have made:

Beautiful necklace. The beads pick up the soft shades in the pendant perfectly.
That is gorgeous! Those colors are so perfect for fall with the richness and the purple
