Art Bead Scene Montly Challenge

 Field of Flowers

Egon Schiele

1910

Chalk on Paper

I seem to be running behind lately on my challenges.  This one I actually had completed a week ago but had to wait until I could get some pics while it was still light.

What really struck me about this picture is the combination of the flowers and the color orange.  Normally when I think of orange, I think of fall and the beautiful leaves.  So I decided to change  my thinking to bring in the flowers.

The  focal I made has brass flowers as well as an artisan polymer connector from Staci Louise and a vintage glass bead. 

I really wanted to play up the color orange so I used an orange silk string to suspend the focal.  I also make it adjustable so that it can do with a variety of necklines.  This is a fun casual necklace that due to the color can be worn in the fall and in the summer due to the flowers.

I want to thank Art Bead Scene blog for their monthly inspiration challenges.  For more information and to join in on the fun just click here.
