Copy Me Design Challenge by Gaea

Gaea posted a picture of this bracelet and encouraged copying her design either way our muse would take us.


She distributed a kit to 6 participants.  I was not one of them because I signed up after a bunch of people, but my first chore was to put a similar kit together.  So I used ceramic beads, fire polished beads, brass tone chain and wire and a metal focal with holes on each side.



I liked the way she used her ceramic beads right into her focal, this I copied.  I also liked the multiple strands of chain and used them on one side of the necklace.



I saw red or brown glass beads attached to the chain in her original design, so I use fire polished glass and added blue because I just felt like it.  I also attached my clasp to the back, yet kept the asymmetrical design in my creation as well.



You can see that is a different creation from Gaea's, yet the inspiration and similarities are there.  I hope you like it.

Here is a list of other participants:

  2. That heart is pretty darned cool. I think that this is totally you. I know that you used some elements, but really, you put your own spin on the materials and the patterns and I would not say at all that you 'copied' anything. Great inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
    Enjoy the day!
