At the risk of committing an act of nepotism, I decided to select two entries this week that each feature the pendants that I sent out to the Simple Truths Sampler Club inspired by this month’s painting by Augustin Lesage. Earlier in the month I had shared the process that I used for creating the base pieces, but didn’t have the finished layer of glossy resin over the top. You can see from them both that each one is different (just the way I like it!) in both the placement and the colors used. I couldn’t be more impressed with the way these two talented designers have used the pieces, choosing colors and beads and patterning them and wrapping them in such a way that they make these pieces finally feel finished! They really made them sing!

May 27, 2015 at 8:32 pmThanks for featuring my necklace with your drool-worthy pendant! It's fun to see what Shaiha did with her pendant too… and how very different they are. I still need to go and renew my Simple Truths membership so I don't miss any beady goodness!
