[Nfb-krafters-korner] A description of one of Lynda'spictures -Was: Talismans

[River Woman]

Yes, I love to hear what someone else sees in my work. It gives me a much 
better picture of it to hear it through someone else's eyes and view points. 
That was really nice of you to ask her to do this and I really liked hearing 
it so much.  The picture I have is just a scan from my Epson scanner so I 
really did not know that all those details were showing - I just hoped for 
the best and sent it out.

Today, I am working on getting my three pieces of work ready to send off, 
via email, for the National show that is held by the Arts Unbound 
organization - for people with handicaps - I hope some of you are entering 
it, too. It is FREE to enter - you just send them jpg's of three pieces of 
your work, and some additional information they have listed that need to 
accompany the photos.

You can enter by getting you application on line at:
www.artsunbound.org

>> Hi All,
>>
>> I shared Lynda's picture of the talisman she named _M_ with a friend of
>> mine.   Below is her description of what the picture looks like.  Hope 
>> you
>> enjoy it.
>> Lynda, I hope it does the picture justice.

>> It's beautiful. My impression is an all-seeing eye of mother earth. In
>> purple and yellow gold colors. It would be very interesting to fondle
>> with lots of different textures in the beads.
>>
>> Recall the cabochons I bezel with seed beads? Start with that, and
>> envision an even larger border. I suspect it is beaded to a backing
>> perhaps covered with ultra-suede or felt. Then there are contrasting
>> decorative beads around the bottom half completed with beaded fringe
>> surrounding the lower half.
>> It
>> is nicely asymmetrical. The center cabochon is canary yellow and the
>> bezel is constructed with dark purple iridescent beads highlighted
>> with gold beads and some blue iridescent beads. The fringe is made
>> with kinda greenish gold bugle beads (tubes) with brighter purple tiny
>> seed beads at the ends. It is on a strung necklace of same/similar
>> beads plus some blue mother-of-pearl type coin beads and a few green
>> leaves.

>> I must have forgotted to attach it - it it is.
>> It is my newest Talisman, called:  M
>> I designed it with the inspiration of a Marc Bowman top I had purchased.
>> I

>> _M_ because Marc Bowman's label has an M on it.
