Project Accessory Challenge
The designers were given a bodysuit that they need to make accessories for that made the bodysuit into a wearable outfit. Hot pink, magenta, baby blue, white and black were the colors. They were able to shop at Mood for materials for the challenge and use anything off of the Swarovski elements wall.

EtsyMetal Challenge
Create a statement piece of jewelry that would compliment one of the bodysuits. It can be a ring, bracelet, earrings, necklace, belt, anklet or whatever you know will make a statement. Make it bold and exciting!

Here are the creations:

ExperimetalI whipped this out yesterday and was not very inspired by last weeks "neon spandex bodysuit episode." I really didn't honestly understand it... maybe it's a sign I am getting old. I searched for something hot pink and found an old suede skirt and I chopped her up, then took this challenge as an opportunity to use these new punches I just aquired and voila. Result is a leather cuff with a hot pink lace detailing.



Kira Ferrer
It seemed like the accessory she needed was a skirt. Unless she's going to dance class? Not enough time to make a skirt out of metal, so I made earrings to go with the black bodysuit.



Panicmama Jewelry
Nothing will make those bodysuits look like something someone should wear out in public unless they are in the circus. I decided to go with a long detailed piece to draw the attention away from the bodysuit. This necklace can be worn at full length of 40" or at 18" doubled. Handmade chain, sterling silver and Poppy Jasper.

Project Accessory Challenge
The designers were given a box with the contents of someones handbag. They were challenged to create something that everything would fit into and match the clients contents. They were able to shop at Mood for materials for the challenge and use anything off of the Swarovski elements wall. As a extra layer to the challenge, they were to make an accessory out of the clients old handbag in less than two hours left to the challenge.

EtsyMetal Challenge
Create a piece of jewelry that would compliment a handbag in your closet, one you lust after from that famous designer or one that you wear everyday! It can be a ring, bracelet, earrings, necklace, belt, anklet...shall I say as an extra twist: it must incorporate LEATHER (or pleather for the vegans!!) Post pictures of your inspiration and the finished piece if you can.

Now go be creative!
