Our theme for May is “Greek Gods/Goddesses”
and the entries for the first week's design challenge were inspired by the theme
of “Apollo: god of the sun, light, and healing”.

I created this
"Sunrise Sunset" necklace from polymer clay to represent Apollo
pulling sun across the sky.

These yellow orbs with the
orange netting just shout sun and light.

Apollo, the God of
Healing... My submission is a triple wrap bracelet featuring Labradorite, as it
is well known for its healing properties. I also had to include beautiful soft
Greek Leather in the mix (since we're into Greek Gods this month) :)

Apollo - I made the fine
silver medallion from mould of a cheap plastic disk. The chain is made of
soldered fine silver rings. The bezel is 14k gold. The only things I did not
make on this piece are the caps and clasp which are gold plated.

Beautiful Citrine stone is
the focal of this necklace. Hanging from the Citrine is Apollo......and the
other stones are various colors of the sun and earth.

Spring Healing, hand
forged copper link and handmade lampwork bead bracelet. beads created by Jody
of Elasia Gifts.
Laura Bracken of Bracken Designs Studio Art Jewelry
My interpretation of Apollo involved a domed copper disk with kiln-fired enamel (glass powder) fused in layers of color with a bit of sgraffito to emphasize the burst of light from the sun.
Lindsay Philipson of Precious Violet
For the Apollo theme, I chose these rustic
ceramic sun charms by BoHulleyBeads, paired with lampwork by Clare Scott.
