Art Bead Scene June Monthly Challenge

Feuilles, 1928

Pigments on Canvas

The picture chosen for the monthly challenge immediately caught my eye.  All those orange and pinks as well as the leaf shapes.  It really is a feast for the eyes.

I had ordered some brass leaves in a destash and as soon as they arrived, I just knew that I was going to use those.  The next thing to do was to find an art bead or beads that would fit the color scheme.  As I was digging, a ring I had picked up from JKD Studio caught my eye.  It blended both the pink and orange in wonderful swirls of polymer clay.

I added some Czech glass beads, some chain and wire wrapped it all together.  I have to admit that it came together easier then I thought when I first saw that glorious painting.  All it took was that one ring to pull it all together.
