My Process: Waited until the last minute.
Date Started: 29 November 2012
Date Finished: 29 Nov 2012, 1am
The Challenge:
- Erin Prais-Hintz sent two random and completely different palettes from the curated pool of 40 that Brandi Hussey created inspired by the USGS Earth As Art landsat images.
- Here are the images I was to chose from:

- Each participant was asked to choose which palette you would like to use.
- I chose the top pallet called Parana River Delta.
- Create an accessory of your choice that evokes the colors and patterns. Any accessory is applicable. Art beads are encouraged, but are not required. I was not required to buy anything new, so I used up some of my stash.
- Due to time constraints, I went went with earrings. I used the Vintaj Patinas on metal disks and added tiny lampwork rondelles. Not bad.
- Mark Your Calendars: Blog Hop on Friday, November 30th. Please share your palette(s) and your creation. Share your design process. Or what inspired you about this process.
- OMG...So soon!
- Above all, have fun! This is not meant to stress you out. If you are not having fun, you aren't doing it right. ;-)
- Here are my ear rings all completed:
Thank you Erin for hosting the challenge/blog hop and Brandi for the inspiration pallets! Now, don't forget to visit the other participant blogs to see the pallets they chose as well as their designs.

Overall, this was a lot of fun, once I buckled down and completed the challenge. Have I said that I like challenges? Well I do.
Rush job or not, your earrings do a really nice job of reflecting that photo of the river delta. Cool!
ReplyDeleteRenetha, I have always loved working with alcohol inks but haven't tried the patinas yet. How do you apply them? Your earrings look so awesome I may feel "obligated" to buy some and find out for myself LOL
ReplyDeleteWeren't the Challenge of Color palettes just beautiful? I was so happy with the ones I got. You made such gorgeous earrings with yours! You did a fantastic job on this challenge!
ReplyDeleteSeriously love your earrings. You've made me want to play with the vintage patinas now!
ReplyDeleteThose are fantastic! As was this challenge! I've been wanting to try those alcohol inks and new I'm definitley going to do it!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the Patinas :) - I love how the earrings came out and how they reflect the colors from your palette :) JLynn
ReplyDeleteI adore your earrings. The colors are awesome and I love how you used all of those patinas .. you did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteYou really did a great job at blending multiple colors to match the palette. I too am getting inspired to try the patinas. Andrea
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the patinas!
ReplyDeleteWow, you really got those colors in beautifully!
ReplyDeleteYou blended the patinas in a beautiful way. I think you did a reat job, even if in a rush!
ReplyDeleteAlso, you have made me want to try the vintage patinas!
Ambra
Absolutely beautiful - great match to the palette! Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ
ReplyDeleteYou did a fabulous job on your color matching! Very cool earring design, too! Love them!
ReplyDeleteI was also up wayyyy to late the night before the reveal and had to wait till the sun came up to take some good pictures. Love your earrings! Looks like a fun project to play with the patina colors.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love those Vintaj Patinas. You really did a great job of recreating your color palette on the metal.
ReplyDeleteAwesome earrings. I really like what you did. I have been wanting to try the patinas. Maybe now I will after seeing what you did. Thanx
ReplyDeleteOooh, I haven't tried the Vintaj patinas - how are they to use? Are they similar to paint?
ReplyDeleteI love the look and feel of your earrings! They capture the palette colors beautifully.
Thanks for playing along!
Those earrings of yours are stunning! The colors in your palette definitely shine right through and are so VIBRANT :)
ReplyDeleteEven though it was a last minute project (it seems like a lot of pieces were done last minute), they turned out absolutely beautifully!
Oooh! I really need to get some of those vintaj patinas to play with! Great job matching your palette!
ReplyDeleteVery cool design! Wish I knew how to make my own components ... how fun would that be to create with those colors!
ReplyDeleteThose earring are absolutely beautiful! Every time I see someone work their creative magic with them, I want to try them all the more. Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the patinas to achive your color palette...so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow, great interpretation for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the use of patina - lovely idea! beautiful earrings: you matched them perfectly to your chose palette!
ReplyDeleteboy, you make it look so easy! I haven't tried those patinas myself but I love the result you acheived and it sure looks like it belongs to your palette. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou are hilarious Renetha! I love your timeline and your observations. I hope you had fun with it! I love working with those new Vintaj patinas. They bring such life to the metal. Thanks for joining in the CHallenge. Enjoy the day!
ReplyDeleteErin
P.S. I am in that 12 Days of Christmas and of course I am not done yet but will be soon! Thanks for the reminder!
You've inspired me to work with the Vintaj patinas...if I can get the results you did, I'll be soooo happy!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty earrings. Love the colors in your palettes. I haven't been able to get any satisfying results with my Vintaj patinas, yet. Maybe I haven't practiced enough, but your's are great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful patina work! Thanks to you, Vintaj stock just probably went up! I want to try them, too!
ReplyDeleteRenetha, I guess your life's like mine. Crazy busy! But despite it all, you finished a fabulous set of very "in-style" ear rings! Great job! I like the patina job you did. Never have tried that yet. Guess I have something else to add to my "want to do list"! And Thanks for stopping by my blog.
