Description The stone was quite a challenge as I had absolutely no clue what to do with it. At least I've found a matching idea and played around with polyclay gradients. I really love the result.

Materials: purpurite cabochon, labradorite and chrysolite beads and splitters, polymer clay Fimo, Toho seed beads, metallic parts, moss agate beads.

This might very well be my next favourite from your gallery, what an awesome necklace! That gem is so intense that it needs either a strong pendant or a very basic one and this elaborate super-detailed pendant just makes it jump out even more. Amazing job!

definitely rose to the challenge with this one!  I love that stone, and the ferns go so perfectly-makes me think of a jungle/rainforest or something similar in a storm.

Nice with the wrapped fern fronds.  The cabochon gives it an ancient feeling

Cheers, thank you. Yeah, the stone gave me the feeling of being "prehistoric", and I've tried to express this somehow. ^^

I thought so from the title. 

The one thing I might add is the the background for the stone seems a little thick (perhaps due to the rounded edges), which makes it visually "heavier" than some of your other pieces.  It's not a big thing, but just my own gut feeling when I see it.

I do like the curling ferns as they wrap their way around the stone.  It's an interesting choice, since ferns are very ancient plants too, going with your "prehistoric" theme.

DeathMystery In reply to Observer14 [2015-08-10 17:51:35 +0000 UTC]

You are absolutely right, the background is heavier than I usually do. It was made on purpose - I wanted the "round" shape to work on, because it allows me to curl the ferns in the more interesting and natural way. But yeah, it's heavier, indeed. That's the case you have to choose between the two "eithers".

Yup, the ferns were the 1st plants I was thinking about when you mention the "prehistoric" theme. ^^
