December Challenge

well here we are I hope this one won't be too challenging for you. Tinker and Odonata helped me with picking the theme this month, thank you


So Christmas in Paris, looking forward to seeing what you will be creating.

Ooh that's interesting. Here's me thinking it would just be plain ole Christmas.

Don't want to make it toooooo easy now, do we! Gorgeous board Cornish, as always!

Did I? I can't remember doing that. But then my memory is terrible bad these days. I've just taken delivery from Amazon of a 2nd set of Harry Potter DVD's cos i forgot that I'd ordered the same thing just 3 days previously. How dumb is that?

Christmas in Paris....mmmm.... putting on my thinking cap.

I spent a weekend near Paris just before xmas once.
Never again!! How bloody cold?!

It was Disney land mind...but I froze walking / sitting round that place..and ended up missing the parade due to tiredness and also the people I was with being a bit rubbish...however I came away with some lovely photos...I shall dig through those.

Aww sorry guys I didn't want to do the usual Xmas, hence the twist


Bonnie sounds good even despite the cold hope you find some good photo's

Hey there hi there ho there it's a Disney kind of day Mmm I love Disney Paris! I love Paris too, my hubby proposed to me at the top of the Sacré Coeur.

I excpect my entry will be a broad interpretation of the theme though, bit like last month lol.

To be honest I'd only ever go back to Disney if it were empty of children. Paris never appealed to me either, it is mental and busy and you take your life in your hands on the roads from all accounts of friends that have been lol
But then I hate the cold even more now and I hate crowds...I'm too much of a homesbody. English countryside in summer please.

I made this a little while ago but I think it fits the bill....love the colours and images on the mood board - I really enjoyed Paris - would have enjoyed it a whole lot more if I had had plenty of money to spend!!

Gorgeous. Warm and wintry at the same time!

That's lovely Lakelady, the colours are very nice reminds me of snugly woollen scarves & mittens.

Now that's really nice Lakelady. Gorgeous tactile beads on that; are they your own make? A VERY wearable piece.

Thank you Yup, all my own! I love etching pale colours - makes them all silky!

Lovely colour combination, can imagine it against a high neck black top.

Stunning beads, Lakelady. Do the silver beads move freely on the silver tubes? I love jewellery with a bit of movement.

Gorgeous colours and textures Lakelady!

Here is my effort


Paris by CornishDragon, on Flickr

I went for Paris more with some frosty lampwork beads for the winter bit. the picture is a bit pants sorry. xx

Oooh tres tricolore!! And shimmery and lovely :-)

Okeycokey, I was going for the picture to the bottom right of the mood board, but this looks more Nordic or somewhere my beloved moomins would live. Hey ho, half a point for trying lol - I do love this bead though, well pleased

Very nice Tinker, definitely wintery.

Love the necklace Cornish. fits the bill beautifully with the red white and blue PLUS the frosty looking ice beads. Is that text in the beads?

Tinker that bead is stunning.

Inspiration for my teardrop pendant comes from the shape of the Eiffel Tower with the curves of the Pont Neuf Bridge and my dichroic cab, which I made, picks up on the reflection element of the mood board.

I wore this on Christmas Day so here's my................ Christmas in Paris

That is just gorgeous Lynn or to invoke a perfume advert J' Adore.

That pendant is so stylish and stunning, beautiful work!
