In the photo, that lovely brown knob on the upper left started off ivory. I'm actually pretty happy with this color here, contrasting with the blues of the leaves. This one was envisioned as a pull for the ceiling fan in my studio.
I still can't build the bead I see in my head, which is a take off on one of my journal pages. Can you just imagine? My heart just wells up thinking about it.
Things I need:
- A way to control the background color and get the nice variations I like.
- A way to put in the background spiral. I tried this, but used something with too much contrast, so I need to go to something fainter.
- A way to put the text in. This is where the fine penwork with enamel comes in.
- A shape that speaks to me better; something a bit unusual. Maybe back to the clouds.
