FEB ABS Challenge Entry - Ancient Romance Series Persian Peacock Polymer Clay Earrings with Vintaj and Fire Polished Czech Glass Beads
The theme of this month's challenge at ArtBeadScene is based on "The Conference of the Birds by Habiballah," (page from a manuscript of the The Language of the Birds of Farid al-Din `Attar ca. 1600.)
I chose to focus on the beautiful blue green and gold peacock in the center of the illustration, and created these earrings and the peacock focal components.
I used a peacock stamp from cooltools and my own blend of burnished gold polymer clay, which I distressed to make them appear very old. I added Vintaj Etruscan bead caps, other brass findings, and fire polished AB finished Czech glass beads in a beautiful majolica blue. I antiqued the earrings with Prussian Blue acrylic paint, cured, sanded through 9 grits of wet-dry sandpaper, and buffed them to a glossy shine.
