More Beauty.

It was with a hop and a skip and a jump that I entered my workshop this morning after the weekend.  It is great when I have an unfinished piece waiting for me.  No sketching, no trial and error, no prototyping - just assembling and then admiring the finished article.  

Rose and Silk Organza Ring from 'A Stitch in Time Saves Nine' series by Cari-Jane Hakes

This time - a ring.  Ingredients: Roses, Silk Organza and Silver.  Roses are romance and beauty and combined with the same Clarissa Hulse fabric that I used for the memory locket (see here) there is just a hint of something couture about this piece.

And yes, it is big.  I make no apologies for this.  Everyone needs to make a statement sometimes and this is what this ring does.  It shouts loud while you stand demurely and hail a black cab - just raising the finger lightly, inflecting it towards the sky.  It is bold femininity.
