This week, for
The Alchemy of Objects workshop lesson 5, the challenge was focal pieces. For this challenge, I paired a Victorian mourning brooch with a coordinating black cross pendant. I then used faceted, black beads to pick up on the faceted nature of the brooch and cross. The back has a vintage rhinestone clasp and a vintage Medal.

This week, I also created a necklace to donate to my son's school for their silent auction fundraiser. It features a handmade clay bird from
Firefly Design Studio. I used marbleized agate stones that compliment the green of the pendant.
I also drilled a hole in the bottom to add a coordinating charm dangle. The back features a vintage box clasp and bronze bird dangle, picking up on the bird theme.
