This month's Art Bead Scene Challenge is to be inspired by John Singer Sargent's painting Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose. I just love the colors and warmth of this painting and built a necklace around similar colors. Luckily I had just completed a pendant and toggle clasp that evoked the same color feeling. I build the necklace around them. I used Lapis Lazuli sticks and silver lantern beads to make the chain. I warmed up the palette cooled off by the silver by adding a copper bee, and a piece of copper chain to attach the toggle clasp. Oh, and the bar on the toggle clasp is also a copper hue.
Thank you for looking in on me today.
Beautiful piece and congrats on finishing what you set out to do! I love the toggle clasp and lapis is one of my favorite stones. Thanks for sharing your process with us.
ReplyDeleteThank you! You have given me a direction for my own entry, and since I promised that I would do one each month, I better get crackin' that whip!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty this one!
Enjoy the day.

The copper picks up the glow of the lanterns in the painting in a very nice way.
