Cleopatra's Surprise
By Barbara Briggs
of Briggs
Designs
Technique:
tubular peyote and brick stitch, wire work
Description: Serpents have long been revered and believed sacred in
Egypt. I believe these bejeweled little fellows would have been favored
by Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile. These tiny serpents are made of
polymer clay. One is tucked in a brick stitched lidded basket of Delica
beads accented with two bi-cone crystals. The other dangles from a 12mm
Swarovski Crystallized rivoli bezeled with Delica beads and charlottes.
Suspended on sturdy handmade 20 gauge Argentium sterling ear wires,
they are very lightweight and measure 2 1/2" in length. |
