On the Eve of Dawn -orb

I finished a second mini orb. This one is in burgundy. These are a challenge to embellish as the smallness of the size but definitely quicker to complete than the larger ones. These are a little larger than a ping pong ball. Read more

This is a green felted orb and wanted it to have the feel of a geode that was cracked open to see the beautiful depth of lines and angles of the gems inside. Fuzzy moss growing over it lends an earthiness to it. Finished on just one side belies what is on the inside. Read more
