July Maker Challenge - In a Pickle

 Yesterday, goimagine announced their finalists for the July Maker Challenge, "In a Pcikle." This is the first challenge I've participated in for the past several months, but I have been trying to get back to making lately and somehow I found the inspiration.

Well, my necklace made it into the top six to be voted on! This is the first time one of my submissions has been chosen as a finalist, so I'm super excited and honored.

 The necklace features glass beads from a vintage piece that belonged to my great grandmother. I combined them with green glass beads of various shapes and sizes along with gold toned accents.

I tried to keep a vintage vibe in a more modern design. I hope I succeeded, let me know!

Hopefully we can keep this fun monthly event happening! One of the things that drew me to goimagine as a marketplace was this focus on community building. I didn't want to be just another seller competing with the other sellers on the site, I wanted to join a group of like minded makers in a collaboration. The maker challenges are part of that.

So vote for me, or vote for someone else, but please vote!

Stay tuned for more updates!

Celestial Jewelry Collection

I don't normally make holiday themed jewelry. While I think spider pendants are cute for Halloween, and candy cane earrings bring Christ...
