This year's Christmas sweater from hubby (he buys me a special sweater for Christmas each year... lovely man) was an Irish knit patchwork sweater. Instead of the traditional creme colour, he bought me one in a favourite colour... Aubergine. The sweater is very similar to this one... just shorter.
I fell in love with it, the minute I saw it. It is definitely "my kind" of sweater.
As it happens I was making some buttons in the same colour to bring to the shop where I sell them. I quickly decided to make a pendant to match my new sweater and fulfill this month's "obligation" in one of my Flicker groups...
12 Polymer Clay Projects in 2013.
It's a perfect match in colour and the first time I have tried embedding tiny marbles into the clay. Was an awful mess doing it... those miniscule marbles go everywhere... but it worked and it looks great on. I've also sewn a couple of the buttons on one of the patchworks in the sweater as well.... makes for an interesting look!
Wishing you a fun, arty week,
Sharon
