One is fellow contributor and friend Anne from Gardanne. Anne makes some of the most yummy
enameled jewelry components I have seen. We were visiting each other at our booths and thought it would be fun to take home the exact pieces and each come up with an earring design and show you how different, or similar, two artists creative minds can be!
Anne started us out with the surf board shaped earring pieces. They are a beautiful tropical blue with specks of orange, gold and lilac. I found some 15mm round discs and 5mm spacer beads that coordinated nicely with the enamel colors. I made these out of white earthenware ceramic clay. Here is our collection:
The first thing I reach for when designing jewelry is waxed linen. I also love 20g wire, so I have
some fun ideas brewing. We'll have to see if I can bring my ideas to life!
You will be hearing from Anne about the challenge before our big reveal, which is scheduled for
Tuesday, July 26th. I am excited to see the finished designs!
