The ABS-Challenge February with a mix from all over the world

This months ABS-Challenge is very much about  birds

With this necklace I am designer of the week on the ABS-blog

Thank You Heather !!:)

I have tried to follow the colors of the painting  and one bird is in front

The Ceramic focal is made by me  in porcelain clay

I added some faceted stone beads and some  lampwork art beads  and the birdie

 

In this closeup You can see the beautiful lampwork bead with silver from *Davina Design*  in Italy

and the pretty polymer bird made by  *Yelenacomau*  in Australia

And I do love that this obsession ! with beads and design bring us all together from all over the globe !!

 

This fantastic lampwork flower is made by *ferrarioriginalbeads*

Necklace closes with a swivel clasp in the front  and the dark shifting silk is the river flowing through the painting
