Enough about the weather though, it’s time to see what I made with this lovely lady who arrived oh so quickly from Sweden. Sent so generously by another lovely lady, Birgitta Lejonklou.
Here she is now all dressed for the blog party
Like many ladies she tried on several outfits before this look came together. She wanted to be a sea goddess of sorts so I made her a ruffled polymer blue/sand ombré dress and some coordinating little wave beads. A few seed beeds, some commercial ceramic and two stacked polymer buttons bring it all together.
Many thanks Birgitta, it was definitely a challenge for me to find the right balance, since I do struggle with bracelet design, but in the end I’m very happy!
So there are many over lovely creations to see with all sorts of Mother Earth interpretations. Don’t you love how the internet brings the world to your door? My first time getting a package from Sweden, but I don’t think it will be the last.
Travel the earth – this way!

Emma-
ReplyDeleteI love how you made the beads, clasp and "dress" to match Birgitta's focal. Very pretty and creative!
Thank you Julie, she was a very pretty lady to dress up :)
DeleteHi Emma,
ReplyDeleteto be one with bracelet problems I must say this *Sea Goddess* is AMAZING
I think You can let go of that thinking now and say You are the bracelet queen :-)
This is so whimsical and lovely in colors and the dress... It put a big smile on my face and I can see You did put lots of time and energy into it.
Thank you very much for this lovely post!
Birgitta
I'm so glad you liked it! I would have been happy to create with any of the focals but I knew this one would be a tough one for me. I didn't share any pictures of my first attempt I took apart. Ah well, it's all learning. Thank you so much for the opportunity
DeleteI'd say you worked your way through the struggle with bracelets very nicely!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gale! I've got more to make for next week - 7000 bracelets :) (well I don't need that number myself, the charity I mean)
DeleteI'm having trouble seeing the "struggle" here. It is gorgeous. Just as I would have expected from you. Great job!
ReplyDeleteAh Jean, you make me blush. Thank you so much!
DeleteThis is a very happy and carefree Sea Goddess dancing her way through waves :-D What a lovely dress!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mags, what a lovely description for my little creation
DeleteYou matched Birgitta's focal so perfectly with your polymer clay elements! Very nice :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I had a great starting point
DeleteIt is gorgeous, and I especially love the two little polymer wave beads on top of each other --you have such an amazing eye for shape and balance.
ReplyDeleteCassi, what a sweet compliment! You are such a dear, thank you.
