The first piece I worked on was jewelry piece from an art project I had worked on at CAJE in North Carolina. We read, dissected and learned about Torah together studying the torah protion the binding of Isaac and then looked at how artists had depicted it through the years. Was it midrash was it torah based? Then we created a unique and personal piece I did the story of Ruth, Naomi and Boaz. As a convert Ruth resonates with me- "your people are my people, your God is my God". The love between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law- is a role model that I hope to exemplify with my son's girlfriend and I pray someday his wife. I was inspired by Picasso and the women reflects both Naomi and Ruth as they were to both become mother to Ovid.
The colors in the painting were red and gold and that is reflected in the coral red beads and the gold crystals, the golden pearls and natural warmth.
From the Wednesday Wine & Women fimo clay pendants we finished wire wrapping the pendants. Only made better with crystals, glass pearls and mixed color metal spacers.
My turn to inspire this week led me to provide a bead challenge- every one got a focal piece, several small clay accent beads and several clay eye-pins the rest was left up to each artist. Since we have two artists that focus primarily on jewelry, a mixed media expert and one true novice. I supplied chain, wire, beads that matched the same color palette and the fun was on. "Owl love you always" was my finished piece!
By the time I finshed the coffee was cold, the jewelry was finished and I felt restored.
