Klik Collaboration

I joined a collaboration sponsored by Metal Complex and hosted by Resin Crafts. Each artist who agreed to participate was sent two Klik bezel snaps, the only rule was ... we had to use EnviroTex Resin or Jewelry Clay to create our piece. We were asked to send our finished piece back and we were allowed to keep the second piece. Once all our pieces were received and showcased, we were to receive a necklace that we could use for the 2nd bezel snap. I'm anxiously waiting for this little gift to arrive in my mail box ... any day now.

This is the piece I created, along with the lovely description posted by the host of this collaboration.

Artist: Carla Collier
Carla thought long and hard about what to put into her Klik bezel snap. She reviewed her stickers, papers, baubles and beads and then finally found a focal bead to inspire her. This turquoise cross framed by red coral beads and then a final frame of seed beads is just gorgeous.  I have never seen anything similar and it is the only submission featuring beads in this way.  I laughed when she noted that one whole hank of beads ended up in her carpet when she was working on this piece. Cat companions always have issues with seed beads! Carla glued all her beads in place and then very slowly and cautiously added her resin. Since she did not completely cover everything, her turquoise and coral look natural and truly Indian inspired. Well done Carla!
 
 
Here is my Klik bezel snap used in one of the many accessories you can pick from to finish your piece, a leather bracelet.
 
 
 
Featured here with some of the other amazing artists. Doesn't it look great? I think so.
 
40 artists participated on this collaboration. And as you can see, the options are endless ... you can create whatever you can imagine. The possibilities ... oh the possibilities.

Love Always ..... Carla
