OMG, I just came back from Marcie's blog La Bella Joya, as the voting for the finals of the Margie & Me Challenge is open. Marcie decided to challenge us for the last time in 2010. We got five color palettes to choose from and make a piece of jewelry based on it. I chose to go with Titian the Venetian and his painting "Venus of Urbino".
Und hier ist mein Werk: meine persönliche Venus von Urbino. Die Halskette besteht aus einem meiner FIMO-Gesichter, vielen Glasperlen, Süßwasserzuchtperlen, ein Perlmutt-Rechteck und einen handgemachten Kupferverschluß. Es war das erste Mal, daß ich die sogenannten Wire Guards verwendet habe und ich muß sagen, ich mag sie wirklich.
And here is what I made: my personal Venus of Urbino. The necklace features one of my pc face cabs, lots of glass beads, freshwater pearls, a mop rectangle and a handmade copper s-clasp. It was the first time I used wireguards in a piece and I have to say I like how they look.

oh Dagmar, this is just beautiful....what a great take on the challenge and love the colours.....but when I look at your piece I think of Russian nesting dolls....that's what I love about art...everyone sees something different...
AntwortenLöschenI LOVE THIS DESIGN!! You did a fabulous job on the bead embroidery. Lovely, oh so lovely.

AntwortenLöschen*LOL* T...., I secretly call her my "Matrjoschka", but don't tell anyone. "Venus of Urbino" sounds much more elegant to me. ;-)
