Feb #4 SCDiva

PCAGOE Team's February challenge theme is "Gemstones And Flowers Associated With Your Birth Month".

 

I was born in the month of June. The traditional gemstone is Alexandrite, the modern birthstone Pearl. The flower associated with June birthdays is the rose.

 

I created a polymer clay pendant using an Image transfer of a vintage Victorian valentine featuring deep pink and lavender roses. The rose colored oblong beads are also polymer clay, which I embossed with a floral stamp and treated with eggshell acrylic paint before baking. I added Alexandrite Czech glass cathedral beads and Mother of Pearl oval gemstones. The rose beads are capped with antique brass floral bead caps. I used 2mm antique brass spacer beads and finished the necklace with an antique brass branch toggle clasp.

 

Vote for your favorite February challenge entry at www.pcagoe.com beginning Feb. 1 through Feb. 7. You may be one of 5 voters chosen at random to win a beautiful polymer clay item created by one of our member artists.
