This week marks the first week I have taken part in the "Margie and Me" challenge.
As I previously mentioned Marcie from La Bella Joya chooses a colour palette each week from Margie Deeb's book, The Beader's Color Palette, then creates a piece using those colours.
This week the palette chosen was
~ #63 - Portrait of a Lady with an Ermine ~
And here is the piece that I created.
The cabochons are lapis (10mm) as well as a teeny tiny glassed fused cab I made.
The piece has been stitched with size 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads as well as 3 x 3mm Swarovski bicones under the black cab.
The pendant is relatively small measuring 50mm (1.9in or 5cm) across.
I ended up changing the size of the jump ring to a larger one as it wasn't fitting on any of my necklaces so here is the piece with the larger ring on one of my right angle weave (RAW) necklaces which matches perfectly as it has been stitched with the same matte black seed beads!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this challenge.
Whilst choosing the beads I knew these were not colours that I would normally put together in one piece but I have to admit I am really loving how it all came together!
I guess that is what this challenge is all about...letting us step outside our comfort zone and partake in an adventure in colour!
Thanks Marcie!

Beautiful!! I did this challenge too and also wouldn't have normally picked that color combination....but I agree that the colors really work well together.
I really, really like it Karyn! It is such a challenge to actually be challenged and I'm so excited to have buddies on this journey with me! Thanks so much for playing along!
Stunning! I love what you did!
Thanks ladies. I can't wait for the next challenge - such a great way to use colour combinations you wouldn't normally use.
I love this pendant! I love the versatility of it (can be worn with a variety of chains). You did a great job!!
Thanks Nancy - I was pretty happy with this one, especially seems it was a colour combo I'd not normally use - ahh the beauty of this challenge!!
