There is one more week to get your entries in for our Honoring the Earth Contest here on BOC. 

I love this contest entry by Gail Barnett.

And next we have a pendant entry by Cindy Dolezal.  Cindy used the colors of the photos #4 and #5 to inspire her very natural pendant.   Check out the photos that were her inspiration in this blog post announcing the contest.

Here is Patrizia's description of her piece--

This beautiful, unique cuff was created around one of LisaPetersArts (www.LisaPetersArt.etsy.com) gorgeous OOAK round raku ceramic cabochon and is bead-embroidered using light bronze Japanese seed beads. This centrepiece is attached to the genuine chocolate brown leather-covered brass cuff which is trimmed and embellished with the Japanese seed beads. The inside of the cuff is lined with turquoise ultrasuede.

The cuff fits all sizes and is 2” (c. 5.2 cm) wide. The bead-embroidered cabochon centrepiece measures 2 3/8” (c. 6 cm) by 2 3/8” (c. 6 cm).

I wish you all a glorious spring weekend!  Get outside and find some inspiration in nature!
