Echo Creative Club Challenge for February

Hi all - I was honored to be a guest in Jeannie Dukic's legendary Echo Creative Club challenge for this month!

I received a colorful set of beads from Jeannie in shades of bright pink and purple.  I love how the focal has a translucent layer where the design is stamped...I believe this is her Acanthus design.  The coordinating round beads are some of her Polarity beads and have swirls of gold mixed in.

I went with a mixed metal look by using bright brass to wrap the beads, and some black chain that I had on hand.  I had some faceted Czech crystal beads that were a pale bluish-gray with a gold irridescent coating that I thought were a nice complement to the polymer clay beads, so interspersed them and created a 2-strand necklace.

Thanks for inviting me, Jeannie! I had fun creating!
