Towards the end of May, Sherri Stokey put out a challenge on the Love My Art Jewelry blog to design something in this color palette.
I was inspired, although I didn’t play by the rules exactly. The necklace I designed is beachy and turquoise. I even included a starfish, however the necklace doesn’t have the neutral colors that Sherry included in her pretty color palette. My necklace just didn’t seem to want to develop in that direction.
I’m still inspired by Sherri’s color palette though and I’d like to make some additional pieces of jewelry that adhere more closely to her colors. I made some ceramic clam shell pendants this weekend. I bisque fired them on Sunday, but they haven’t been glazed yet. Perhaps I’ll use one of the clam shells to design a necklace in tan, ecru, turquoise and teal.
Some of the items that were bisque fired this weekend –
I’ll be sure to share further explorations with this theme. In the meantime, my Sea Star Necklace is available in my shop.

Beautiful necklace, Linda – I love the color palette you chose to use with the glass starfish. I can’t wait to see how the peacock feather pieces turn out!
Lovely necklace – I think it fits the theme perfectly even with the adjusted colours.
Can’t wait to see what you make with all those pendants 🙂
I like the pops of coral you added to your beachy necklace! Summer fun! I too look forward to see how that batch pendants turns out!
Loving the beachy ness and color scheme and choice of fibers. Can’t wait to see your pendants!
Your necklace is beautiful. I love the colors. You’ve gotta go where the muse takes you!

I love the silk you used for the back part of the necklace. My favorite bead is the red tube it looks like painted wood and really pops! Your designs are adorable and I can’t wait to see the ceramic once its glazed!
