Art Bead Scene Blog: February Monthly Challenge


On Saturday I had a chance to try my hand at enameling on copper. Our community has a wonderful resource in the Minnetrista Cultural Center. They put together programs of interest to all ages in a wide variety of topics. You might see a canning class one day and a stained glass class the next. At our workshop there was a young girl around the age of eight who totally enjoyed making her work of art. Everyone there enjoyed our time exploring and discovering and creating together.
My piece for this month's Art Bead Scene Challenge is a necklace featuring the pendant I made during the Minnetrista copper enameling workshop. I tried to use colors that reminded me of the magical scene from John Singer Sargent's Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose.

  1. It is really a delight to have such cultural center for people to enjoy and learn and meet. Your enameled piece looks stunning. The choice of colors is pure summer joy and the matching beads with enamel both having that transparency shine. Love it!
