Designer of the Week – Mary Harding

January 10, 2011
Each Monday the Art Bead Scene features the Designer of the Week. One of our editors picks her favorite from the Monthly Challenge entries. This week’s featured designer is Mary Harding.
This is what ABS Editor Heather Powers had to say about Mary’s piece: “I choose this piece for the wonderful mix of colors and textures that embody the spirit of the painting.  The mix of chain with the ceramic beads remind of the river running through the colorful landscape. The small piece of ribbon that holds the charms is an interesting focal point.  I also thought it was interesting that Mary and several other participants have used hearts in their designs.  The heart shape mimics some of the curves and angles in the painting, but I wouldn’t have picked up on that without seeing it in their jewelry.”
Here is the full necklace.  You can see more of Mary’s work on her blog and website.
Want to see your work here next week?  Enter in the monthly challenge and you might be the next featured designer.  Don’t forget to blog about your entries for our blog tour at the end of the month.
