When I saw the topic of this month’s Art Elements Challenge, I thought that it would be easy. I have a nice assortment of leaf beads. I even thought I might try creating some Zentangle foliage. But when I sat down with my leaf beads, I just wasn’t that enthused. That had me puzzled for awhile. Then I came across my strand of dyed Kiwi Stone beads, and inspiration struck.

Do you see a leaf? I hope so.
I am eager to see everyone else’s Art Elements Challenge: Foliage creations!
Check out where I link up!
I like your pedant – the stone is beautiful and you created pretty frame for it 🙂 and I can see leaf in it easily 🙂
Thank you so much!
I definitely see a leaf and think that it’s a very clever solution, and a beautiful one, too!
P.S. I thought that it would be easy … that one made me laugh out because it was the same for me!
Thanks so much Cat! Ha! We were both fooled then. 🤣
I love your pendant, wire wrapping is something I tried but I didn’t get away with it, yours looks amazing
Thank you so much!
Lovely design, I like that it’s double sided too. Thanks for joining us for the challenge!
Thank you!
Your wire wrapping is amazing! I love the green and copper together to create your leaf. Beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Such a neat take on the theme! I’m so glad inspiration finally struck for you.
Thanks so much, Hope! Yes, I was getting worried about my lack of inspiration for awhile.
I love that shade of green. Your wire work is amazing. You made a really beautiful piece.
Thanks so much! That shade of green is one of my favorites too.
Michelle, yes, I see the leaf and what a lovely one it is!:). Just FYI, I was ready to leave the page, couldn’t find the comment section, so scrolled way down past ads, etc. and found it!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you were persistent in finding the comments. I may need to rethink my ad placement.
Michelle, LOVE your leaf, your wirework is fantastic and I love the little floral detail at the top!
Thank you so much!
Love the copper with the green stone bead. Your wire wrapping is supreme Michelle!!
Oh wow! Thank you, Mary!
I love your detail in your wire work (I too thought about some Zentangling for this theme, but did not make time for relaxing and drawing – which I need to just do it!) I can totally see the leaf shape.
And I too also almost gave up on commenting as well, but then thought to scroll past the ads. 🙂
Thank you so much! I appreciate your feedback on the ads. I’ve decided to move all ads to the sidebar. So next month you won’t have to deal with them.
Totally see a leaf. Wow that wire weaving is a lot of work! Looks great. Thanks for joining us!
Thanks so much Jenny!
Oh yes, that is most definitely a leaf and it is a lovely one too! It’s hard not to panic when inspiration is nowhere to be found (been there!), but you kept your cool and came up with this beautiful design to save the day. I love the little flower bead up top – that sort of attention to detail can really take a piece from nice to special. This one is special!
You are so kind, Dawn. Thank you!
I definitely see a leaf! I think your wirework really transformed this stone perfectly!
Thanks so much, Cathy!
I defiantly see a leaf and I do love your wire wrapping!
Thank you so much!
Yes I see a leaf. A beautiful one.
Thank you!
Great wirework and a lovely pendant.
Thanks so much Tammy!
I love the colors in your leaf necklace. The copper wire wrap just sets off all of that beauty perfectly.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful wirework, Michelle! I love that the back of your pendant is as presentable as the front – excellent detailing there.
Thank you so much, Anita!
