WOA challenge #9

woa natural elements
Originally uploaded by wildflowerdesigns

this weeks challenge revolved around natural elements.
i felt this was a little unfair because i tend to use flowers/leaves and natural stones in many of my pieces.
so, i opted to take the challenge another direction.
i have been riding bikes with my 6 year old almost daily and we have been passing a pile of shattered glass.
without fail, i find myself looking again and again and the reflections and pale teal color.
i made some of my flowers and bezel set some of this shattered glass.
it feels right, a little urban secret that most will not recognize as shattered glass.

this week we decided to make charms that would adorn a necklace.
the necklace itself will be for sale in the etsymetal shop.

many of my designs have developed from a specific color, cut, pattern, or element in the stones i use.
my charm exemplefies this in a very obvious way.
