heart of the sound

Trying hard to finish up all my commitments this month so that I can get ready for ArtFest. This little charm was done for my Charmsters group...it is an exchange between the 12 Charmsters that will be attending ArtFest this year. I got mine sent off yesterday. The ArtFest theme this year is Sea Monsters...not really my thing...so for this little swap I took my inspiration (after coming across this already wired glass bead in my stash), from the movie Titanic. My take on the "Heart of the Ocean" necklace from the movie. Here is my little offering...Heart of the Sound...as in Puget Sound.

round robin necklace ~ for Amy

The second necklace in my Round Robin went in the mail yesterday. Amy's theme was "Royalty", loved that one. I just had to use a photo of Marie Antoinette and give her a key to the kingdom.

windows ~ Lori's round robin book

The last book from our Round Robin swap goes in the mail to Lori today. Her theme was windows and the work in this book is absolutely beautiful! Wish I could show you all the pages...here is my offering for the last page of her book. My window inspiration centered around Marie Antoinette and the French Revolution. Around my window I wrote "Outside her window a revolution raged". I only had one window to work with, which peeked into the lovely artwork of Laurel on the previous page.
This was my first round robin and it was so much fun. I really enjoyed seeing all the books arrive and looking at everyone's artwork. I'm hopeful that we will do another one so that the creativity can continue!
