I was more careful in laying out the leaves & buds to be eco-printed. It’s still not complete control because to hold the leaves & buds in place to eco-print I have to wrap the necklace in strips of cotton. The plant materials can and do shift a bit during the binding process. I’m pretty happy with how the eco-print came out!
Oh, that is beyond gorgeous, omg, I would wear that & never take it off! Stunning! It reminds me of cloisonne goldfish. It’s just, wow.
Tell me you wear your pieces? I need to know these are out in the world being admired. Your art is too good not to been shown off.
Thank you so much!
When it was finished it also reminded me of cloisonné!
I rarely wear my work. I don’t make my work for myself, but now and then among what I do make I have pieces that I do claim as my own and sometimes actually wear. These days I don’t go anywhere except grocery shopping about every other week. I could see myself wearing this particular necklace and I did wear Organic and Invoking the Dragon (once each). I got no comments both times.
It is unique and stunning! Love the process of eco-printing you used…when it gets a bit warmer, I would love to try some rust printing as well…don’t know much about either, but I love the look!
I agree with @Magpie…I would be wearing these no matter where I went…even to pump gas…the are not your everyday mass produced piece!
Yes! Total cloisonné vibes!
I am lucky enough to have one of Harlan’s pieces re-homed with me. I wear it whenever I’m able!
Beautiful!
