For some people the act of going to work is dreadful; but for me, it is refreshing. As an artist there is nothing more exciting than knowing that others find meaning and significance in the work that I deliver. And while I love the standard dichroic glass memorials that I make most often, I absolutely love the creative freedom that comes along with making custom memorial pieces!
You will recall that I was asked to create a custom piece for the Circle of Life Hospice's annual Voyage fundraising event in Springdale, AR, and I am SO excited about it! Of course I couldn't wait to get started and immediately began thinking of all the colors, textures and materials I could use to create a stunning piece that represents the beautiful lives that have been touched by the services that the Circle of Life provides.
The first material I am considering is a brownish vintage brass that is very popular and may be dressed up or dressed down for nearly any occasion. I am also considering some beautiful turquois nuggets that draw on the color from the organization's logo blue and lime logo. And last, but most importantly, I am considering a large vintage brass butterfly pendant that draws on inspiration from the primary element of the logo. The end result will be a necklace that represents a beautiful Voyage through life.
So what will this necklace look like?? Catch next week's post to find out!
