This months challenge is inspired by the work of Toshi Yoshida.
The wired pendant depicts flowers hanging from branches of the tree. I love the red orange color in Yoshida's art thereby I used 3 ceramic beads with a similar shade. To complete the "cherry blossom" theme, I used the Vintaj embossing die on a 1 inch brass blank and added Vintaj patina in moss and ruby.
This was my first attempt to incorporate suede in my jewelry and I loved the process in making it.

What struck me about this challenge is the repetition of pattern and the prominence of texture that are so evident in the terraced crown of the building, so that's what I focused on in my design.
I made the beads from domed discs that I cut from etched copper sheet and then soldered together. I attempted to echo the repetitive triangular pattern from the building's face in the herringbone wirework in the focal and the three accent beads. In addition, I made accent beads from copper gears that I also domed and soldered.
To echo the mirror-like appearance of the windows, I have hung little charms made from 4mm bicone beads in a hematite finish and in a clear/no-finish, as well as adding a tiny pop of color with charms made from enameled headpins.
