Watercolor & jewelry: September Chain Challenge Project 8 - tree of life with Gemstone Orphanage
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лис 2024
- I was inspired by the colors in the September Gemstone Orphanage subscription box to paint a few pink flowers surrounded by all the shades of green. I used a tree of life pendant for the focal of my jewelry piece, which I made following Steve Caldwell's recently posted tutorial (link below). I added a little bit of extra pink to my jewelry using some leftover pink rounds from one of my previous Adoption Auction wins, as well.

Oh my goodness Beki! I walk away for 2-3 minutes while doing your second layer of pedals. I come back to an amazing transformation of that painting! Wow!
LOL I always forget to pause what I'm watching when I walk away!
I can watch you for hours at a time! I'm always learning something new from every one of your videos...thanks for finding time to make them!!! Please don't stop!
OK, just for you, I'll keep making them
Beki, my beautiful soul sister, this is so phenomenal.... you are an absolute treasure in our community. I so appreciate your art. Thank you so much for everything that you do ❤
Thank you Colleen! 💖💖💖
Becki, WOW!!! You blow me away with your painting skills. They always come out amazingly beautiful. Your Tree of Life pendant
necklace is gorgeous too.💗💗💗 The elephant earrings are adorable, they complete the set. Thanks again for sharing your abundant talents with us. Love and Hugs from FL🌴🌞🐢
Thank you so much!
Your tree turned out really well. I love watching you make jewelry. Thanks so much for this video.
Thank you Debby!
Beki! Wow! So so beautiful! Love the tree of life pendant you made. Pink and green, beautiful! Love your watercolor painting! It’s amazing all the different techniques you used in your painting! Nice Beki! Very fun watching! Yet again, a beautiful necklace and earring set! Thank you Beki🥰💕 your friend in NJ.
Thank you so much Pauline 😊
Yay!! 🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳 I needed this video this morning as I was waiting for my medicine to kick in, as I had a rough pain night. So, thank you for the tranquility of this video. From the tone and cadence of your voice to the blending of colors in both, the jewelry and the painting. I love that you chose to take inspiration from the GO box. I can see some stacked bracelets using more of the green and drawing in the pinks from the $BB!! Love, love, LOVE this video. Thank you my friend!! Happy beading! 😊🫶🏻📿💗
💖💖💖 I'm glad you loved it!
How beautiful love the jewelry set & the black outline on the painting just pulled you into it awesome Beki!
Thank you Cathy!
Very pretty!
Hi Beki, love so much! Did not like so much green in the box but I love what you did! I always judge way too soon and need to learn to look at tutorials for the sub box. Great idea you had so I will add my pinks from their auction I won, too! See you at the coming up Gemstone Orphanage auction for Fall!
Oh yes, definitely add more pinks! :)
You're ability with wire is amazing...that tree looks like you've been making it for years!!! As for the pink triangles, I used 90% of the strand in wire wrapping and had to get them onto a 26 gauge wire...not so fun!!!
Oh my! it's a struggle but I love the sparkle they add!
I have to finish my elephant earrings...I did a swirl under them and am going to put them on SilverSilk so that the elephant looks like it's balancing on a ball.
That is so perfect!
If you were going for symmetrical sides the one on the right does not match the left but pretty anyway
You're right! Thank you, I didn't even notice. I'll fix it.
