Moon Garden Challenge Reveal: Crystal Lombardo Farrell...

These pieces were made by Crystal Lombardo Farrell.  Here's what she had to say about them:  "My African Grey, Sebastian, regularly sheds his flight feathers.  My brother found this one in great condition, and I was inspired to make something out of it.  I thought a sort of abstract hatpin with geometric wire and cord and beads might be nice, so that's what I did!"

"The second project is a necklace.  This color scheme felt very Victorian to me, and with Victorian jewelry more is always better!  I wanted to highlight how lovely the beads were and pick a pattern that set each one off instead of hiding some.  I haven't decided yet whether to connect the three strands with knotwork or more beads, and I didn't end up being able to make the decision in time.  I would still like to include what I have done though, and I am excited about finishing it."

There's more to see in the Moon Garden Challenge!  Swing by all the different participants!
