I received the most awesome pendant. I love the colors in the glaze Kristie used and the u shape made it the perfect pendant for a choker style necklace. I rarely do chokers but I love how this turned out.
I went to JoAnne's Fabrics with a friend a few weeks ago and bought a big bag of plastic flowers. I promptly organized them into baggies by color. One flower escaped my attempts to corral my bead hoard and remained on my table top. It's this little convict that is now front and center in the necklace.
When I received the pendant I placed it on my table top waiting for inspiration. The little flower worked perfectly with the pendant. I also round up some beads from MaryAnn Carroll and my favorite silk from Marsh Neal Studio.
I am so glad that we are having some sunshine this morning so I could take photos because it is looking like the weekend will be a washout with Hurricane Irene taking aim at NY :-/
Be safe everyone.
I am off to the grocery store to stock up on essentials - chips and ice cream.

WOw! I love it Shannon! I like the flower on the side, breaking up the strong outline of the half circle. Beautiful soft colors!

So pretty, love the little flower, it's perfect with the piece!
Very nice- love those Mary Ann Carrol beads with Krisites!
Oooo...soft...and hard at the same time. Soft colors and texture with the ribbon and flower combined with the hard texture of stoneware and metal. What a delightful piece, Shannon! ;D
Love the soft colors with the mix of hard and soft textures. Lovely. ;)
Love you little flower it really accents the crescent. Stay safe this weekend.
We got crackers, cheese, and beer...the essentials! haaaaaaaaa
The little flower really changes up the whole look of the pendant...I love it! You took it in a completely different direction than I'm heading. It's fun to see how different minds work. :)
Stay safe -

Great Work!

I just saw this (a little late!) and think it's really nice! Very classic/classy in design and yet hip/trendy at the same time - looks great on you, too!
