You know I really want to be Iza Malczyk when I grow up even though I'm already old enough to be her mother. :D So this is my latest attempt. The big stone is a 25mm lapis. The small rondelles are blue iolite and I added a pyrite because the lapis has pyrite inclusions. I had a really hard time getting both sides the same, and I had wanted two wires to meet at the bottom but I obviously got them too short. I tried a couple of different ways of attaching the chain and I'm still not satisfied with that part of it but that can be changed if anyone has a better idea.
absolutely gorgeous, Nancy! It doesn't matter how old our physical bodies are...it is all in the spiritual and mental, as I believe you have already captured. love your work!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks so much, Melissa!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful work Nancy! I like what Melissa said, and age is only a number.
ReplyDeleteThis chain attach is almost invisible :) Maybe sometimes it's worth to resign from extravagant forms...but maybe bigger, for changin chain...And pyrite as element of it...I'm sure you will do something fantastic. Stones are marvellous- dark gold and blue! In my box are waiting for accurate moment (I like that colours too)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Licho! That was my dilemma. I still think that because the pendant is so ornate, it needs some more elements in the chain.
ReplyDeleteThat, my friend, is a work of art!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE this!! I want to be Iza too when I grow up, but am old enough to be her mom I guess :-P. I want to try something like this, but I just don't know how.
