Things have been pretty busy here lately in my little neck of the woods, and I've had to miss the last 2 weeks of the etsymetal Project Runway challenge. (You can find some cool entries from past couple of week's challenges on the etsymetal blog if you're so inclined...) Last week's show "For the Birds" challenged the designers to create something inspired by one of these 4 birds brought into the studio.
I looked through my collection of stones and found a wonderful piece of ocean jasper with a colorful, graphic design. I set it in sterling silver with 14kt gold bits and a stylized "tail".
Fun challenge this week!
Next week's challenge: "The Final Challenge" . In this episode, the designers were tasked to create a mini collection emphasizing their overall fashion vision. They went to Governor's Island in NYC to find their inspiration.
The etsymetal challenge: create a piece inspired by the sights on Governor's Island. Or, visit your local park and pick up a little inspiration there.
OK, we'll see what happens...
Meanwhile, see all of last weeks entries here!
