Gimme One Good Reason
So here’s what I’ve gotten finished in the last few days. I have several other pieces I am working on for very lovely people which I will hopefully get done (or near done) this week. At least enough to get some more pictures up.
Mermaid — Water colour by Warwickk Goble (who rocks my socks)
I think the pearls are called “peacock”… I don’t know. They’re freshwater pearls dyed to a particular colour that I think it kinda pretty. Also, there’s a lot of swarovski crystal in this. Mmm…. crystals. Basically, I wanted it to look a bit like a sunken treasure chest with all the pealrs and jewels just sorta hanging out. Yeah. I think I achieved my goal on this.
Absinthe — advertisement by somebody (who also rocks my socks)
This is very different from anything else I’ve done before, mostly because I didn’t bead the entire thing. Jackie wanted understated, and understated I think is what she got. I’m rather pleased with it. If I’d had more time and money, I would have used real amber, but the glass is a pretty colour anyway and looks right.
