The Art Bead Scene theme for this month is The Kiss by Gustav Klimt. I have had the good fortune to see this painting in the original when it came to the National Gallery in Ottawa, Canada. I have always, it seems, loved Klimt's work. For this submission, I made a ceramic pendant stamped from a Klimt syle stamp and then I hand painted the glaze in colors from the painting. I used a wonderful brass chain I got from Etsy (JemsGems) and wire wrapped black ABS and orange Swarovski crystals. I used some puff yellow agate beads which I also wire wrapped. I was so excited when I discovered that I could lay a link from the chain across the top of the pendant so that it blended in better with the necklace. I guess you can tell that I loved making this one.
Beautiful, so original, and has your touches all over it. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWow Lynn,

Just beautiful Mary, what a great combination and that pendant is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda for stopping and leaving such a nice comment on my necklace. I am on my way to read about your barrel firing.
