Honey Do Challenge ~ Black and White and Shades of Grey

I have so much fun playing along with Sarajo and Eric Wentling. This month Eric challenged us with some black and white photos - very different from last month's bright orange, yellow and green.


Right away I thought of liver of sulfur on silver.  




This cuff started as 20 gauge flat sheet of sterling silver. 
I cut a 3/4" wide rectangle and rounded the ends. After stamping the borders, an oval dapping block created the the slight dome and curved the cuff.





Naturally, "Shades of grey" brought labradorite to mind. 





These beauties have been lingering in my stash waiting for the right accent to bring out the amazing flash. None of my other gems did it any justice, so I decided to try something different - I knotted the piece with dark blue silk thread.
I love it!






And, just when I thought I was all done, I re-discovered a jar of white beach glass. Silver wire wrap, liver of sulfur and a few moonstones for accent...
2 more necklaces.


Thanks for visiting!

I hope you'll hop over to Sarajo's blog to see what everyone else has created!  (click here)

  1. All your pieces are gorgeous, Jeanne, but that labradorite necklace is a show stopper!! (I'm also impressed with how well your photos capture it's sparkle.) You were clearly inspired this month! Thanks so much for playing along with me... Check back on April 1st to see what Eric has in store for us next!
