I finished my BJP for February about halfway through the month, but haven't got round to blogging about it yet.The face is yet another from a job lot I bought off Ebay, quite an attractive one I thought. The found object has a history, this time - this piece of twisted wire, along with another one, were among my late father's effects. I have no idea if he had intended to do anything with them but they have obviously been manipulated quite deliberately and I love the organic quality of the shape. It went well with the face.
I chose a mostly green palette, including one mixture that included cream, purple, pink and mauve as well. They went with the browns of the face and the copper wire. This 'design' is a lot more organic than January's, because of the way the face and the wire spoke to me.
Again it is ATC size, 2 1/2 X 3 1/2 inches, done on Lacy's Stiff Stuff and backed with ultrasuede. I used my 'signature' encrusted beading edge again.
I haven't started March's yet, because I am about 2/3 of the way through crocheting what will become a felted bag and I want to get that out of the way, but I have chosen the face cab and the found object and the colours and I'm raring to go. Next week, hopefully!

It is very pretty and green!! I like the way the things you use have a special meaning for you.
Its a good piece and I like that wire too. I also like the way you have a knack for bead mix in the back ground. I have to work at that, but yours looks like it comes naturally.
That looks like an interesting face. Do you think you could post a close up of that portion? I'd love to see it closer.
I'm always in awe of a piece that's so encrusted, and I always love faces. Wonderful job!
hey!! it's the weekend!! have a great one x
Wow, looks like this took some time to make! Nice job!!
Wow - really gorgeous!
I like the wire very much, and the echo in the figure made with green beads beneath it. Very nice piece!
