Here is my entry for the April ABS challenge. Hooray for Erin of Every Heart Crafts for making these great leaves and having a terrific sale on them at the perfect time! I used some stick pearls I really like and finally figured out what to do with some great sea glass i've picked off the coast of Maine over the years. I tried my hand again at making the pendant and a bead with polymer clay and overall i'm pretty happy with it. It has a peaceful feeling to me.

Sharon: This is so pretty! I like how you attached the sea glass. Your polymer clay beads turned out nicely! They are really reminiscent of something you'd find at the beach. Did you paint them?
Your pendant is great, love the way it looks with all the elements in you necklace. www.prairieemporium.com
Hi Doreen and Debbie, and thanks for the compliments! I did paint the clay Doreen, after I baked it, and then I distressed it. I thought they turned out descent, but I don't really think clay is my favorite thing!
Sharon, This looks phenomenal!!! Beautiful design! Every element flows so well and not only that, I think you really captured the essence of the painting as a whole!!! It does feel peaceful! It creates a feeling of renewal to me.
I love it! Great work!
Thanks Erin and Heather for those beautiful words, it means a lot!
Looks great Sharon! It has your style written all over it! Nice work.
Thanks for the compliment on my necklace. :) your ABS entry looks great! I'll need to head over there and see what the theme is. I always mean to enter and forget.
Lovely! Looks like spring to me ...
Thanks Lynn, Lori, and Christi, you are all so inspiring!
It's not hard to wet felt at all. Especially not beads. You're basically just rolling up tuffs of roving into balls in warm soapy water. Then ya let them dry and string them with wire or cord or whatever with a needle. That's verbatim anyways. If you Google 'how to wet felt" or even how to needle felt, there are tons of good tutorials out there. That's how I learned. :) You should try it, you might really love it! It's not hard. And Copperpot's roving is the most affordable I could find on Etsy, especially for the amount you get. And it was soooo lovely and soft and the colors are beautiful. :) I hope you try it soon!
Thanks Lori! Sounds easy enough, off to look for tutorials!!
Hi Sharon
