Yeah! It feels like it took forever for this one to get here. I kept thinking, I could do another piece, maybe, no, yes.....but with all the other stuff I've involved myself in, I decided not to try to squeeze it in and maybe do a poor job. This challenge was a lovely painting called, "The Sower with the Setting Sun".
A St. Petersburg chain!
The closure is a yellow button, slipped into a peyote round with yellow fringe.
The body of the chain was worked in a rainbow grey seed bead, with an embellishment on the top of matte purple.
Bright and bold sunshine!
I'm like most people, I don't tend to wear a lot of yellow, but this bracelet is surprisingly easy to coordinate with lots of stuff in my wardrobe. The orderly person in me has a bit of an issue with the fringe, but I try to imagine the painting, with those short strokes, creating a lovely work of art, and just go with it. Hope you enjoy! Don't forget to head over to LaBellaJoya to see the rest of the designs!
I really love all the vibrant colors in this painting. I knew when I looked at it, that I wanted to find something to represent the glorious sun with all the color sprangling out from it. (Yes, I know sprangling is not a word, but it works for me.)
So, my decision for a pattern came from the tiny lines of color in this piece. Let's see what you think!
