The beautiful Summer 2011 issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry<\/a> has been on the newstands for a few weeks, have you seen it? \u00a0I’m excited to share with you a little about one of the articles you’ll find inside. \u00a0Late last year my friend Diane Cook, of Rosa and Josies<\/a>, kindly asked if I would like to participate in a challenge with 5 other jewelry designers (oh would I!). \u00a0We were asked to create a piece of jewelry using one finding, the “Marianne” by Brass Bouquet<\/a>.<\/a> Oh the possibilities! \u00a0I hope you’ll have a chance to pick up a copy of this issue to see the end results by participants, Diane Cook<\/a>, Diana Frey<\/a>, Mary Jane Dodd<\/a>, Riki Schumacher<\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0Molly Alexander<\/a>, and Julie Pishny<\/a>. \u00a0I am inspired by each and every design… it is amazing just how unique they all are. \u00a0Diana’s necklace incorporated 6 of the Marianne focal pieces! \u00a0Incidentally, if you visit Diana’s blog<\/a>, you’ll be able to have a glimpse the entire article, page by page.<\/p>\n

For my design, I was inspired by the book, French General: \u00a0Treasured notions<\/a>. \u00a0The romantic and detailed focal really lent itself to something rather delicate. \u00a0After I decided how I wanted to work with the filigree opening (resin? \u00a0rivet something inside?), I was on my way. \u00a0I knew I wanted to incorporate an old piece of linen. \u00a0I thought of adding some embroidery stitches to the linen, \u00a0but instead opted for pretty teal blue seed\u00a0beads, and a brass bead cap that I flattened to resemble a metallic sequin. \u00a0I riveted the focal to a piece of brass that I had etched and cut to shape. \u00a0With some sparkly Swarovski crystals, a floral brass button, \u00a0and sari ribbon from Mudhound Studio<\/a>, the piece was complete. \u00a0I sent my package off to Diane in Texas, hoping it would be suitable to join the works of the other challenge participants. \u00a0Diane wrote a wonderful article which includes questions asked of all of the artists, as well as the interesting answers. \u00a0 I was amazed at the exceptional results and so happy to have had this opportunity to participate.<\/p>\n
