Team Project No. 6, Just October, part 2

Wow, our September challenge was pretty popular. We had so many entries! Remember the challenge was to make an item using two of the following colors: Burnt orange, Loden Green, Deep Burgandy, Rust, and Pumpkin.


Earjeans made these beautiful earrings that are perfect for Thanksgiving or Kwanzaa! She used the colors of pumpkin orange, deep burgandy, and loden green.














Annika's Art made this beautiful and unusual Pixie Necklace. The "chain" is actually made from thread and seed beads. She used both burnt orange and loden green.











Finally, RitzeeRebel made this great resin pendant perfect for Fall. She used Pumpkin Orange and Rust.










See you next week!!!

Team Project No. 6 - Just October, part 1

Team project for this month is mainly based on colors that's supposed to be five distinct colors, four rich deep earth tones and one pumpkin color.
Each member's supposed to present an item with at least two colors of these five: burnt orange, deep burgundy, loden green, rust and pumpkin.

Let's see what our team has come up with so far.










This quilted fabric postcard comes from FabricGreetings. With colors of cranberry, pumpkin and muted green it all corresponds to the Autumnly Team Project.
















Autumn leaves and Swarowski woodland is the name of these earrings from JewelsByTrish.













Last for this Friday is this very autumn like large magnet board from MooreMagnets. Maybe you need to organize your studies, job, whatever for the start of this semester?
