New Project Phase


Under the Sea

   In case I haven't mentioned the theme of the project, I am aiming at a very abstract representation of the 4 spiritual concepts of earth, wind, water and fire.  The earth portion of the dress is complete and has a subtle yet beautiful tree built into the design.  The tree features blossoms of purple and rose along with a few beautiful Tiger's Eye leaves and sassy mother of pearl bird.
  The photo above is the raw design for the water portion of the design.  There are sea anemones made of Watermelon Tourmaline, fish schools of Carnelian and a sneaky jelly fish comprised of a wonderful lampwork bead and 3 pieces of onyx.  When the water portion of the skirt is complete the design disappears into the bunches and folds of the bead strands but it is fun to know it is there, even if hidden.
