Painting With Color and New Work
Want to see something new I'm working on for the Etsy shop? I mentioned earlier that I was trying for a smaller sized bezel, that could possibly be used for bracelets or necklaces. I have always liked the look of antique optical lenses, very quaint and antique. So I worked on a similar size and look for a bezel, and this is what I came up with.
To put in as inserts, I worked on some unique polymer clay pieces, to resemble ceramic or carved ivory, but with bright colors and fun images. These three have a bright color range, with a crewel embroidery flower, a bluebird and a french postcard design.The bird and the flower are rounded, and the postcard is flat.
These four have a more muted, vintage tone to them, with a cameo, two button reproductions and a french token in them. The french token and the cameo are flat, the others are rounded shapes.
These bezels measure 1 1/2" from the top of the connection loop to the bottom of the bezel, they are a 1 1/4" round diameter.
There's a hole a the bottom for a chain or fastener to attach, and I can see them as either a necklace focal or used with chain and a clasp for a bracelet.
I really like the way they turned out, but your feedback is very valuable to me. What do you think?

These are great, Lynn! I like the scale of them and how versatile they are. I especially like the bright colors.
You KNOW how much I love these Lynn, lol! They are all gorgeous but my favorites are the muted colors...love love love anything that looks like it's been sitting around for years. Can't wait to see them in person!
Beautiful--all of them! I really like the smaller size too. Both the muted and the bright colors appeal to me.
LeAnn, I guess I was in a bright color mood that day! I'm glad you liked them!
Debbie, thanks for the support and encouragement. Anytime I make something "new" I wonder if anyone but me will like it!
Alice, I appreciate the feedback. I lean toward the muted colors myself, but I know it's fun to work with bright beads sometimes, too!
I loooove these! I love that there is texture, beautiful colors and designs!
I do like the smaller shape and I appreciate the hole in the bottom as well. I think bracelet links would be fun. And I love the brightly colored flower in the first photo. Fantastic! Enjoy the day, Miss Lynn! Erin
