This month, Art Bead Scene gave us two paintings to use as inspiration for our challenge piece, both by John Anster Fitzgerald:
"The Storm"
"The Captive Robin"
What captured my eye in both of these pictures is the use of color to bring the subjects to life, and that's what I tried to do in my piece.
The piece I submitted is one I made a few months ago, but fit this challenge perfectly:
"Robin Redbreast"
The focal is made from an etched and soldered bezel with a digital collage topped with antique watch parts and filled in with ICE Resin. The chain is made from Picasso finish glass lentil beads from Artbeads.com, and copper beads from Rings & Things.
As the cutoff is December 31st, it isn't too late for you to enter. Check out the Art Bead Scene blog for more information and get creating!
