Inspiration Leads to Precious Metals

Remember those postcards I created using the themes of gold, silver and copper? Making those little gems inspired my putting the three together into a larger format. Thinking about all that glitz naturally led to beads. It sounded like such a good idea and then I started beading — that’s 39″ of beading on a 12″ square. This could fall into the “What was she thinking?” category, though, now that it’s done, I’m very happy with it. Here is Precious Metals, hot off the needle. Click on image for a larger view.

I literally just finished stitching the label and sleeve on, photographed it and took it to the gallery to hang in Borrowed From Nature, my solo exhibit at Creative Framing & Gallery. It finishes the wall nicely.
