Warrior Woman Makeover

(1/4) > >>

Enchantra:
Several years ago I made a piece I called "Warrior Woman," which is in the pictures below.  I am going to be remaking her into a "Warrior Goddess" for the Gemstones and Glass bead Competition that Fire Mountain Gems is holding this year.  I will be posting updated photos here and there as I go to show my progress from the initial four year old piece below to the final submission piece.

Kaljaia:
That will be a fun sequence to watch. It is a beautiful center piece and color palette. I love the contrast between the beads, carving and smooth white (bone? tusks?)

Enchantra:
The "tusks" are dentalium shell.

Here is a day's work using a combination of metal beads, gemstones beads and various glass beads.  The bottom has been intentionally left unbeaded.  There's a reason for that, which will be revealed later.  The picture is a bit dark, but as it is 10:40 at night, I don't have good natural light to use.

Gemstones used so far in this piece:  Dragon's Blood Jasper, Aventurine, Russian Serpentine.

Enchantra:
Apparently I take sucky photos late at night when I'm posting updates.  Cannot really help that. 

So Warrior Woman is slowly becoming Warrior Goddess.

Main Focal is DONE.

Wow! Great!. How many time for the piece?
Metal is copper?
