The trick is designing a standout piece which won't be so over-the-top that it can't sell. The purpose of this event is fund-raising for the museum, after all. I decided to make a statement collar which is a little wilder than my usual - longer in the front with an added pendant and some sparkly fringe. I have a clear image in my head and, to make sure I stick to that image, I put it down on paper.
For the focal pieces, I'm using a couple of the polymer clay cabochons I made from push molds.
Now it's up to me to fill the space with seed beads, and some sparkly Swarovski crystals.
I think this piece will take me the full amount of time I have until the deadline!

Whoa, fancy schmancy indeed! Marble Man was absolutely right to talk you into this, you've got some serious wow factor there, coupled with real wearability.
