| This started out as copy-write free image from the dover series. I've modified several aspects of the original pattern, such as turned the heads around and put in a different place. I've been working on this off and on for a 1-1/2 years. It was referred to around our house as " bane of my existance" As usual it took 10 times longer to finish than I ever dreamed it would. This is also the 3rd attempt. I wanted it to look very distinct from a distance, and I only got that by adding black around the primary colors. Most importantly, I've learned so much just doing it. My tension is much better, and I'm getting a better eye for design and colors. (well I think! ;-0) I also combine brick and peyote to do the increases, something I didn't know how to do until now! Made of japanese 11's in 3 different yellows, 3 different reds, transparent matte jade, and matte black. I randomly mixed the reds/yellows, I was trying to get a scaly effect. The fringe is fire-polished czech glass and crystals, the clasp is a vintage black button. The clasp is woven into the peyote with the newest product from the soft-flex people, soft-touch. It worked perfectly! |
