A really fun and One-Of-A-Kind bracelet you will love to feel on your wrist. This 7 inch beauty will go with so many things. It is made with all QUALITY beads and findings from the Swarovski Coral Pearls, to the Swarovski Crystal Buttons for the Clasp. I have also added Swarovski Bronze Crystals, all atop a background of beautiful Matte size 8 seed beads which give it a beautiful depth. I promise this will be a favorite in your jewelry box or for that special person in your life!
Remember Turquoise is THE color this summer!
This little wildflower was determined to grow on the wall of the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine, Florida.
The walls of the old fort are made of a semi-rare form of limestone called coquina.
Obviously the same photo as Tenacity #1 except I tried out NIK Software Silver EFex Pro. wanted to try to keep some color in the moss and I liked the brown in the mortar so I selected those areas and played around a little. Maybe the upper moss is a little over saturated? Any comments and (gentle) criticism would be appreciated. I don't want to post too many of the same pictures but sometimes a different process can make a world of difference in a capture. We all have busy lives and I find it very hard to keep up with all the excellent photography displayed by my contacts so I find myself really editing what I post on Flickr.
Tenacity
Artist Statement:
Life is a never-ending cycle; no matter what we undergo throughout life it continues to live. We are faced with new challenges and endeavors everyday that may directly affect our ability to carry on, yet we are in control of our actions. This control allows us to embrace the light at the end of the tunnel or hide behind the shadows.
Creative Process:
My work was beneficially influenced by the article “Making not knowing.” Having the understanding that it is futile to know the exact plan or solution for any new artwork allowed me to go with the flow. Initially my first inspiration came from Sandow’s materials collection. I knew I wanted to incorporate the “holey material” into my piece. I found most of my materials throughout my neighborhood and work place that were impractical to the original owner. I reconstructed the “holey material” with PVC piping I obtained. Considering my findings and coming to the conclusion I had many different shapes and sizes of cut wood I decided to make some type of abstract sculpture using these materials. By means of trial and error I constructed an object. The process of building this unknown object stimulated my concept. Many obstacles and challenges were faced, even though I was frustrated and distraught I was determined to successfully complete my project.
Color Connotation:
Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. This color represents determination, success, encouragement, and stimulation.
