"... have rich, vivid imaginations and thrive, flourish, and grow when using their creative abilities." In my creative past their has been a theme of coming and going women in trees, and one of the first things I did when I came to "Aspects of Clay" this spring was a tree. I didn't really put much effort in producing the actual tree, but I kind of had an idea that I wanted to symbolically hang leaves from it. This is the story of what happened with the tree after it came home to me.
The jump rings are in sterling silver and 12 mm in diameter. Here is the tree almost bare naked before "spring" came about....
The small leaves and circles were cut out with mini cookie cutters. It is a lowfire clay and glaze.
Here is a view of the finished lady. On top of the branches sits Swarovski flat back glued in place (yes it was very tricky). The face is made with Epoxy resin with a pearl tint.
Here is another view, and maybe if you look close enough you can see a strand of seed beads and swarovski beads hanging between two branches. I made circles of 4 Delica beads and a Swarovski and then another 4 Delicas to create a latter looking connection.
There is a lot of sparkle by the Ladie's tree which is kind of hard to capture, but of course she is a radiant Goddess or Deva...
Captured a little from above one can see the balancing act of the bling... ;)
Now this is a tree lady in three dimensions .....
or some times in 2.....
