I chanced upon the art bead scene June challenge and I
thought the color palette would match the HG inspired cuff I made for my friend
Cathy. This month's Art Bead Scene monthly challenge piece inspiration is a painting by Edward Hopper entitled "Nighthawks."
The cuff has no metal base and is made of polymer clay which
I aged with alcohol inks to embody the post apocalyptic setting of the novel. I
thought that a knotted chain would be perfect to embellish it and could also
serve as a lock. I made the focal rose a little off-set and put a dangling
butterfly locket, which both have meaning in the novel. The hanging beads
represent the deadly night lock berries.
The cuff is a beautiful mix of colors and textures that represent the novel and the color palette beautifully. Funny how inspiration from post-apocalyptic times and the 1940's blended so well together.
ReplyDeletethank you Heather for always providing a starting point for our works. will definitely join again. this time, i'll make something that would really match the challenge. =)
ReplyDeleteI could totally see that lacy in red wearing this cuff. I bet those berries sway ever so gently with a little sound while you wear it. Very pretty.
