My interpretation of the April Monthly Art Bead Scene Challenge.
The real challenge these days is trying to find some time to create. The shortage of time does seems to help me focus and hone down the design process. Nothing too elaborate here with this necklace, but I think it captures the theme of the painting.
Boreas by John William Waterhouse, 1903
Called Boreas after the north wind in Greek mythology, the work shows a young girl in a windswept landscape. In 1904 the Royal Academy notes described the subject as: “In wind-blown draperies of slate-colour and blue, a girl passes through a spring landscape accented by pink blossom and daffodils”.
Materials used, jump rings, C-Lon cord, silk sari ribbon, lampwork glass beads, recycled metal tin, head pins, mesh chain, seed beads and toggle clasp.

I like what you are saying about simplifying designs due to time constraints, but clearly no creativity was lost on your work in spite of it! I REALLY like this piece a lot! –Sharyl
I really like the yellow triangular pendant! I also love how you used different “chain” for the necklace , very interesting design!
Cece – I love the different elements in your design, and the way it all comes together so well. I’m glad you found the time to join in this month, I always love your designs. 🙂
Thanks all for stopping by and for your comments. I really enjoy seeing what all the participants create as well. I just have so little time to leave comments these days. Happy creating.
