Lily necklace

Lily necklace

Occasionally, I will find something that I simply must have and include in my own work.

For example, I bought a hand-carved Axis-horn Female figure from The Antler'd Stag artist at Scarborough Faire one year, because I "saw," in her, one petal of a Water Lily.

My vision took six months to come to fruition, and I feel a personal connection to the finished product, Lily.

Materials: Hand-carved Axis Horn by the Antler’d Stag interpreted by nDc using Swarovski crystals, clear Quartz, Turquoise, Italian Opalite, Rose Quartz, Chinese Azurite and Delica seed beads; Sterling Silver lilypad clasp and spacers.

Techniques: Peyote-stitched lily pad and flower petals, bead stringing.

Dramatic and unique

Very nicely done, Nina! I can see why you feel a personal connection to this piece.

Also, I love what you've done with the beaded necklace strands - they're perfect with the pendant element of this necklace.

This is an incredible work of art - and if you sell it, I hope you price it as art!
