We have green! Yep, little shoots poking through the parched soil in shades of emerald, jade and verdigris just waiting for the next rain to flourish. Doing my rain dance!
Green hills in San Luis Obispo
Thought a few pieces to reflect the colors were in order:
Iris in Sapphire Earrings This pair is delicately painted in blues and greens and wrapped in Indian filigree and finished with Swavorski crystals
Cobalt Iris Bracelet I embossed the metal and then added alcohol inks in colors of blue and green. I dapped it to get the domed look then sanded and buffed it to bring out the embossed design in the metal and sealed it with clear sealer. It gives it a lovely glow, I just love this technique! Then it is just like working a puzzle, finding just the right pieces to create a bracelet.
