I decided to give this challenge a
whirl again this month. My posting is
late because I was at the Cobourg Arts and Crafts Festival all weekend. I celebrated Canada Day there. Lots of fun!
I found that the last challenge
last month stretched my boundaries and inspired me to keep trying something
new. And besides, I love the inspiration photo. It is beautiful, and so is
the story of the artist, Marianne North

| Trees Laden with Parasites and Epiphytes in a Brazilian Garden, 1873 by Marianne North Oil on Paper |
Here is the piece I made based on
the inspiration:

| Twisting Flower |
The necklace focal is all lampwork;
red rosebud, green leaves and white seed pods, made by Deborah Mussy of
Toronto, ON
Each item was formed off a wire of
either brass or steel. Once I had
determined the layout for the focal I twisted the wires together, added more
brass wire for strength, stability and to attach to the waxed cotton cord. Then all the remaining ends were curled for
comfort. The random pattern of the wires
makes me think of climbing rose vines
