Another Ta Dah!! I have been busy!!

Here is a collage of my piece for Heather Power's new weekly challenge: 

Inspired by Nature: this week Feathers.

I made the polymer clay peacock feather beads and

the dark teal textured and antiqued with black beads.

I already had this beautiful teal silk ribbon which I wove through some very open copper chain

split and tied in bows secured with super glue. 

Dyed fresh water pearls in jewel tones worked beautifully as feather-like dangles 

so I sprinkled them here and there wrapped with bright copper 28 gauge wire. 

I think they added just the right fringy touch dangling below the oval pendant. 

I tried to use jewel tone components through out;

green glass 8mm bicones, goldstone rounds,  

with copper findings to reflect the colors in the peacock feather beads. 

I have more polymer clay beads left 

so you will probably see them in

other creations soon 

or 

after I fall in love with the next thing I make

for sale in my etsy shop- heatherp22.
