I have taken part in Karen Williams and Mandi Ainsworth's Free Form Peyote Challege. I have done any free form for at least 10 years so I was a bit rusty. Here is what I came up with. I used some tiger eye as a base and attempted to create a colour scheme to match. Thank you to Ary'dell Hotelling for her 'how to' on creating a snug fitting loop for the clasp that has no gaps when fastened. I may have hidden the donut in the centre a bit too much I think.
No matter what the time, the bracelet is awesome! I've got to go see how to work that clasp, that is a great idea. Lovely palette of colors!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is beautiful! The colors and the garden look are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely bracelet. The colors are awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love the earthiness, Marj! I don't think you covered the donut too much- just enough to look like a treasure in a jungle ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Marj! It reminds me of a rainforest with the colors and textures. I really like the 'hidden donut' because you never know what is lurking in the forest groundcover or canopy!
ReplyDeleteYour colors remind me of a lush summer garden with lots of greenery filled with blooming flowers. The donut is great fun, though I did have to search for it a moment. It's like a hidden treasure in the heart of your garden.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun piece! I love the tiger eye donut.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I really like the beaded art doll in your previous post. Are you entering the Land of Odds beaded art doll competition?
No, I'm not in their class but I do like to drool
DeleteI love your bracelet and the colors are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love how twisty turny it is!! It's beautiful!! I have long wanted to try to include a donut in a piece like this, and you did it wonderfully!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely color scheme! I'm so glad you brought your freeform skills back out after a long vacation -- this is a really pretty bracelet!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful, so rich looking!
ReplyDeleteYour bracelet is lovely with great texture. I see a garden path with many paths!

ReplyDeleteI really love the bright colors and flowers mixed in the the earthy browns. Like Romans said, it's like a secret garden!
ReplyDeleteI really like the flow and texture of this piece and the colour choices, I would have liked to see a bit more of the donut as that is where you've pulled the colours too,but it's a lovely bracelet
ReplyDeleteLovely colors! Your bracelet reminds me rain forest. Well done!

Very nice work! I agree that I'd love to see a bit more of the donut, but possibly you could rework a bit to do that....?
ReplyDeleteLove this too!
