Project Create Recklessly - Episode 3


First of all, let's make one thing clear. I will not be modeling this challenge as presented! Although this project is intended to accessorize a on-piece, spandex bodysuit, I tried to design something fun to wear with skinny jeans and boots...which is as close to my equivalent of a body suit as I get! But, I love to wear boots during the winter here in the Northwest, so having an alternative to long sweaters and jackets would be a nice change. 

Look for the technical "how to" blog in the next few days where I will give you step-by-step instructions for making the polymer clay and wire pieces inspired by Lunaria annua (also known as annual honesty or the money plant).

Care to join me? Post your Project Create Recklessly photos on my Facebook page for all of us to see! Be sure to share this blog with you friends...afterall, only all of you can judge whether I'm in, or out!

Enjoy and thanks for visiting!


EPISODE 3 CHALLENGE:
Accessorize a body suit.


MY CHALLENGE:
Accessorize a bodysuit in a way that would also look great with jeans and boots.

THE RESULTS:


NECKLACE
Polymer clay, brass wire, GF chain, Faux Bone, leather and feathers. Polymer clay dyed with alcohol ink and Pearl Ex powder with a lentil set in.
BELT
Leather and fabric - can be worn to the side as it is longer on one side, as if you tied on a sarong.
THE LOOK
There needs to be one more piece...a bracelet or earring set. What's your vote?

  1. I vote for a big chunky ring that echoes the colors and the shapes. Looking good, Miss Melissa! I am trying to get my daughter in on this act but no go so far. And if you were on the show, this would be a sure winner! Enjoy the day!

  2. These are beautiful. I'd wear the necklace in a heartbeat.

    I'm glad the camel toe girl is gone. She was grossing me out last Thursday with her yakking about that.
