Back from vacation and wanted to catch up on my inspiration for
the August Moon and forward some photos. Box G for August
- Litters Alters was for Peg. And what better way to celebrate Peg
than with a crown for the "Queen of Possibilities".
Thought of using these crystals from Egypt that I purchased many
years ago at a Tacoma bead store. And decided to only use the round
one's on the end of the copper chain.
I used copper wire to make the crown frame, then I thought
adding the copper mesh for the background would add dimensions. Cutting
several points into the mesh wire, I added pearls to the tops and strung
vintage Czechoslovakia seed beads in-between. Remember these, Peg? Way cool,
love them.
Using a small fused glass piece from the class I
took earlier in the year, it became my focal point in front.
What better way to adorn the Crown than with Pearls & Peridot
(August birthstone) beads. So I chose different points to add sparkle.
Then came the hard challenge of the background. Had to have the royal
color, so I used a pearl lavender paint over the card stock. When you
look at it you'll see the pearl essence come out. To make sure the
crown would be sturdy enough to hold it's weight, I used copper wire and made a
box G shape and wired it across in several spots; then wired in the
crown.
Hope it doesn't interfere with the (2 F spots).
Check out my sunflowers! Going full tilt in the south side of
our house. Sorry the kale was eaten by some green worm, tried to save
them, but it was too late.
Warm regards,
