I've made a few pairs of earrings based on the design of the Rose Window of Grace Cathedral, where I sing every week. Previously I've created the "stone" part of the window in silver and then used hand colored resin to represent the "glass". In the style of my new "
bright flowers" earrings, I thought I'd try a different approach on my own pair of rose window earrings - namely remove the resin and hang a piece a colored anodized aluminum in the back to represent the "stained glass". What do you think?
Do you like the look? I colored the aluminum with splashes of color - trying not to make too much mess!!! You can see here the aluminum layer:
This combining silver with colored aluminum really goes a long way to satisfy my lust for bright colors. It means I can still use the silver, but add color as a backing.
I'll look forward to wearing these at Grace on Sunday. I wonder if anyone will notice......
