This
work is crafted to be worn in interchangeable sections. It explores
the concept of balance
through contradictions. It was inspired by the fairytale of Sleeping
Beauty. Drawing also from the Japanese
Cherry Blossoms
Festival, Hanami, which echoes an ancient cultural belief in the
short, transitory nature of youth and life .Exhibiting at the on line gallery at the CGS in their "UnPolished" Show. Also at Orleans House Gallery in Twickenham in their "By Design" show.
A beautiful image of serenity‚ entangled by beautiful but unacessable twigs and branches.
Back detail‚ showing a thicket of twigs suspending a flower bead made with dicro.
A cascade of Oriental Cherry Blossoms.
In Japan the beauty of these blossoms and the finally as they fall from the trees like snow‚ is a celebration of the cycle of life.
The twigs create an untouchable or unobtainable element in a beautiful or desirable image.
This necklace was made in interchangeable lengths‚ and is connected by magnetic sterling clasps. I have used tiny Japanese red seed beads‚ small sterling silver beads‚ and all other are flame worked glass made by myself.
