Muffin Tin Challenge 2017


 http://humblebeads.blogspot.com/2017/01/muffin-tin-challenge-official-enteries.html
The 2017 Muffin Tin Challenge has come to an end. I've managed to complete nine pieces to knock myself out of the post holiday slump. We've had a round of big storms here in NorCal over the past 10 days with torrential rains that have lead to localized flooding. Thankfully nothing major in my area, other than some floating gophers which were rescued, dried out, and returned to the wild.

Some of these are pieces I had started at various times throughout the past several months and not completed, others are brand new from start to finish.

A big thanks to Heather Powers from HumbleBeads for this challenge!! It's the perfect way to start off the jewelry making year!

Midnight Pearl Mala - Cultured Pearls, Glass, Knotted Silk, Hemp tassel.

Earth Talisman - Botswana Agate, Peach Moonstone, Picture Jasper. 





Forest Friend - Red Creek Jasper, wood

Forest Creek - Rhyolite, Rutilated Quartz

Stormy Shore - Amazonite, Abalone, Quartz, Cultured Pearl, Peruvian Blue Opal.

The Greening Tree - Handmade Ceramic Tree Pendant, glass

Scorched Earth - Purple Chalcedony, Carnelian

Cosmic Owl - Lucite, Glass, Titanium coated Hematite

Return of the Sun - Handmade Soldered Sunstone pendant, Iolite, Moonstone
Tiny Talisman of Fire - Sunstone, Harlequin Quartz, Amber

Gorgeous! Great job on all the wire wrapping, it really makes your pieces stand out and unique. Big fan of the color palette and the use of rock crystals too. ♥
