I’m hoping to participate a bit more frequently with the Art Bead Scene monthly challenge this year, aided by the fact that they have published a little booklet with all twelve artworks for the year, so I can get a head start! Well, that’s the theory anyway!
This month’s painting — by Egon Schiele — is a riot of flowers in yellows, oranges and reds.
I recently bought a couple of earring pairs from Melissa Gabelle. She decorates these little ceramic charms with slip to create a textured floral design. One of the pairs was a yellow and red design which was perfect for this challenge. I came up with a new way to hang the charms from the wires using deerhide leather, which I’m quite pleased with.
In fact, I used the same technique to make a similar pair using smaller charms in purple.
Thank you Art Bead Scene for an interesting and inspirational choice of art this month.

I love those charms, and the first pair is perfect for the challenge! I like the way you’ve hung them with the leather.
I love unconventional use of jewelry materials and the first pair has so many shapes and colors in the drawing – a very interesting interpretation!
These are as sweet as can be. The colours in the first one reflect the inspiration very well

Lovely earrings, the leather is a fantastic idea!
Great earrings with those adorable charms! I really like how you used the leather.
Those are precious! I just love that purple pair.
