Autumn Winds Electroformed Lapidary Focal

sold

Here is a focal that I finished today. It has copper leaves blowing in the winds of subtle dichro, copper electroforming that is accented with tiny oak leaves, and finished off with a beautiful magenta patina.

Thanks for looking!

Electroformed/Lapidary Leaf Tree Focal Bead

sold

Here is the focal below after being electroformed. The tree goes up the side and the branches come around the front. It patina matches the copper leaves perfectly as it is a burgundy red/brown...I got lucky on that one. I'm not sure which way I prefer it, with or without the electroformed tree.

Autumn Winds Lapidary Focal

sold

Here is a new focal that I have been thinking about for a while. I painted a tree on it last night, to be electroformed today. I will post after pictures tomorrow.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend!

First 2011 Terrarium Bead

sold

Well, it was actually made in 2010, and I finished polishing it in 2011. These beads remind me of the terrarium my Grandma use to have when I was a little girl. The glass globe was full of a variety of plants and moss, and it even had a butterfly in it! Just one of the things I loved about Gram's house...good memories :)

Have a wonderful week, and thanks for looking!

Happy New Year!!

sold
Samma and I torched yesterday at the Indy Flame Art studio. Here is a focal from the first torch session of the New Year. Wishing everyone much happiness and success in 2011!
