I contacted my goldwork teacher, Clara and asked what she thought about my face dilemma. She suggested I just change out the eye and nostril to give them more contrast. Of course! Sometimes the simplest solution is that last one we think of. I switched out the black smooth purl for gold and it was just the thing I needed to do.
The brooch is now complete and is ready to go to its new owner when I go back to this month's Craft Day. I'm pretty sure Belle will love it. I know I do.
If you'd like to see how this piece sparkles, you can click HERE to see the short video I posted through Instagram. I'd love to know what you think.
It turned out awesome!
ReplyDeleteIn the video, you can see how well it sparkles.
Congrats on your successful endeavor, she will love it.

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteThanks so much. I'm glad the sparkles showed up in the video, as it's nearly impossible for me to capture that in a still photo.

Well done!!! Belle is going to be thrilled I know. Even more so when it's her original design too. My Ellyron is sending along a 'well done' too.
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteThanks so much to you and Ellyron! I think Belle will like seeing what became of her drawing, too.
