February FAEteam Challenge

Okay, so I'm running a little behind... February's Fantasy Artists of Etsy Street Team challenge was to design a piece inspired by the name of that month's Full Moon: Snow Moon or Hunger Moon. February is known for enormous amounts of snowfall that more often than not in the old days resulted in (you guessed it) hunger. The challenge entries were amazing again this month!

I used the Japanese 12-2 chain maille weave to create a pattern that resembles snow flakes. The flakes are complemented by clear glass beads representing ice. Here is my piece in honor of the Snow Moon:

It is available in my Etsy shop as well as my Artfire Studio.


Other team members were inspired by the Snow Moon:

Boreas by Gypsy Moon Art



Snowy Moonlight Earrings and Moonlight Faery Ballroom Necklace by Mermaiden





And of course, after all of the snow comes the hunger for warmth and growth. Here are the items that were inspired by the Hunger Moon:
