ArtBead Scene December Challenge Entry

Here is my entry for the December Challenge at Art Bead Scene Blog.


I used a color palette generator to give me all the colors in The Captive Robin painting.

The Captive Robin, John Anster Fitzgerald, c.1864
I loved the Vintaj leaf I had added red alcohol inks to  and began picking out the other elements.

I chose this handmade glass bead from T Beads and some Vintaj chain and bead caps and finally my favorite Swarovski crystals for some sparkle.

What a great bead! The colors in these intriguing paintings are just so brilliant and earthy at the same time. I love the leaf to make that forest element stand out. Simply stunning.
Enjoy the day!
