Paper mosaics

Over the last few weeks I have been really busy working on some extremely intricate and fiddly paper mosaics. The first is a dragonfly and I am really pleased with it here.

I like the green circles sweeping behind it's body and am also rather pleased with how the wings came out. I studied the wings of a real dragonfly when creating these wings so that they are as close to real life as I could get.

My second piece was smaller, a seahorse and once again I am really pleased with the end result. I particularly like the colour combinations and the shape of the seahorse's body.

Resin Jewellery

I've found a new material to use, resin. I can't believe just how simple it is to use and so I have created my first resin pendants and overall I am pretty pleased with the final result. I thought I would mosaic a couple but for ease used some seed beads and to a pretty good effect and the other two I painted with acrylic first. Soon to be put on sale in my new online shop Nimanoma to be launched very shortly.
