Artist's Comments
Another piece for the
 flowers contest.I'm still on borrowed computer, so as with my previous piece, let me know if this picture strikes you as too light or too dark. Thanks. And I need someone to shoot me in the foot if I contemplate buying briolettes that small again. I think I broke about every other one, even using 26 ga dead soft :/ But they shimmered so beautifully... Ah impulse buys. If anyone has tips on making flower shapes in wirework, please please please! This is a first attempt, and I could use the pointers. So, boulder opal (a lot more ironstone than opal though!) base with moonstone flowers, tourmelated quartzs leaves, and peridot berries. Wire is 14K gold filled, chain is 12K gold filled. About 20", due to the shape of the chain it's essentially infinitely adjustible. Comments Thanks, it colors are so pale it needed a little something. But pale seemed to suit, since we're just getting a hint of green where I am now! (A hint of allergies too!)

(And don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the pin tutorial!) -- "These days there are angry ghosts all around us--dead from wars... sickness... starvation... and nobody cares. So you say you're under a curse? Well so what, so's the whole damn world." -- Princess Mononoke Erm, yeah. They aren't user friendly. At all. And I spend waaaay too much already. I'd say I need adult supervision at these shows, but I haven't met many adults who'd go to them then be a voice of reason

Well so what, so's the whole damn world." -- Princess Mononoke Err, I'm not sure. I'm bad at keeping track of costs. I'd say the stones actually used were probably around $20, the wire I'm really not sure, though I'd best figure out before my next show

Of all unicorns, she is the only one who knows what regret is - and love.  i like the balance of the colors definitely makes me think of things budding and sprouting from the earth and the trees/plants waking from their winter slumber
...and i know allergies all too well...i call it zombie season, cause it's when i start taking my allergy medication & that's what it turns me into, unless i get my coffee intake just right... -- "Whats freedom and magic without love?" ~Massive Attack |
