Necklace & Earring Set Inspired by: The Storm, John Anster Fitzgerald

So I decided to make the second Necklace (& Earrings!) for the Art Bead Scene December Challenge. =^.^= This one also has my own polymer clay and gemstone bead as a focal point.

I focused on the ice blues and purples in this painting for my jewelry design. I used amethyst cubes and rounds, blue opalite, and sodalite. The focal has a mother of pearl cabochon, which to me represents the lacy wings in the painting. Copper findings.

The focal bead is handmade by myself from polymer clay using my fingers and a ton of patience. Each petal and leaf is formed by hand, and gently placed. Vines are hand-rolled. The mother of pearl cabochon is held in place by vines and leaves. Then the entire bead was coated with polymer clay sealant. =^.^=
