Pendant ...Poppies In A Field...
I had bought a few supplies from a fellow jewelry artist including some bezels for pendants. I had made another pendant in a similar bezel using Cold porcelain...it was a shabby style rose on a background reminiscent of the Beatrix Potter paintings. Here it is...you can read about the post on this particular pendant by clicking on the pic below..
This time I went with in a whole new direction for my inspiration ! Poppies are vibrant flowers with their reddish orange or deep red petals and ebony centres. So I was looking at quite a few pics on the Internet and found that the poppy fields looked very vibrant. just below, is one of the photographs that inspired me.
I wanted to give some important to the bezel also..I decided to treat it as a frame for a painting of a poppy field. So I painted the background first, a poppy field spread over a long distance.... and in order to show depth to the 'painting' I formed two tiny poppies in relief and also a bigger one, fairly popping out of the frame...
While the idea is clear to me, I wonder how it appears to others...would love to know your opinion...
That is beautiful!!!!! You captured the field of poppies perfectly. And a nice tribute to Remembrance Day, although that was last month.
