Moon Garden Challenge Reveal: Andrew Thornton...

It's hard to believe that November is almost over and that Thanksgiving is only a week away. Soon it'll be Christmas, then it'll be a new year! Time is just slipping by. Today is the reveal for the Moon Garden Challenge. It was inspired by the colors found in natural moonstones, a blend of washed out peaches, cool whites, and dove grays with pops of inky black.

The kit included a mix of vintage Czech glass, shell, labradorite, crystal, opalescent glass, vintage Japanese glass, African glass, waxed linen, antique seed beads and a Luxury Bead Blend.

Without further ado... here's the piece that I made:

This isn't the piece that I originally made. I actually started early and created an embellished chain with wire-wrapped dangles strung up with moonstone chip. It looked quite smart, if I don't say so myself! But unfortunately, I misplaced it and couldn't find it to take a picture of it.

So... I made something new. I used flat, square-cut natural moonstones, the faceted labradorite oval from the kit, and a sterling silver flower clasp from Green Girl Studios. The design is simple, but I like it... especially as a backup design.

Don't forget to hop along with us and see all the creations created from the Moon Garden Challenge kit.
