Chromatic Craze #1

Hello Bloggy Friends! I am so excited to announce that I am on a new Design Team! There is a brand spankin' new challenge blog, called Chromatic Craze,and I am thrilled to be a part of it. Started by my good friend Laura, this new challenge blog is going to feature one color challenge per month. It's one of my favorite kinds of challenges! Full details are on the Chromatic Craze Blog. Here is the first challenge's color palette.

I looooooove these colors! Teal and purple are my favorite colors. So I was super happy to see that this was our first set of colors. I decided to make a reversible necklace.

I found some beautiful wood pieces in the clearance section at Michaels, and I have been itching to use them. I also found some amazing yarn from Martha Stewart (also clearance; but at JoAnns). I don't knit or crochet, but I knew I wanted to use it for jewelry.

This is the reverse. I love to make jewelry that can be worn in more than one way. I painted the medallion with acrylic paint, and gave it a glossy finish. I added a teeny star, just for some extra movement. How beautiful is that yarn?

Here's me! I wanted you to see how big the pendant, and how thick the yarn is. Love the size! So....do you want to play along? I'm sure you do! Visit the new Chromatic Craze Blog to see what the rest of the DT has made, plus learn all about the challenge. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
