Fini Friday! Be the Light!

Hello Hello!
Welcome to Fini Friday and the end of most folks' work week!
I've the creative path from raw materials to completion to show you today!
First, some of the materials!

I found these materials in the form of a necklace/badge holder when I was on Walkabout a while back.  They definitely have a Winter Holiday theme to them!
The colours and the well-made glass "lights" were what fascinated me the most.  I wanted to create several things that might or might now match the original Winter Celebration theme.
Let me show you the first one to grow up!

Title: Be the Light
Ingredients: Swarovski crystals, glass, metal, surgical steel earwires (silver-plated and hypoallergenic).

My vision for this creation was something like a candle, a lantern or luminous device...perhaps from a distant Fae land!
I'm so pleased with how they grew into completion!
Stay tuned to see what the rest of the light beads are woven into!
WHHHEEEEEEEE!!!
So!
What am I up to this weekend and coming week?
Check it out below!

Magical Monday! Tricks of the Light!

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to Magical Monday!

I hope your weekend was chock-full of fun!

I have all sorts of colourful nifties to share with you today that play with the light!

Let's start with the inside of a building first!

Credits and details are here Isn't that just gorgeous!!!

I think I could pull up a chair and watch the colours change as the sunlight moves across the room all day!!

Let's move outside and into the public space now, to a Water Tower converted into public art!

I love the idea that something mundane and unusually so visually unappealing could become a source of price and colour to an entire community! Details and credits are here.

As we near the end of this post, we move out into the world, once beach at a time!

Isn't that just awesome, vibrant and fun!? 

Credits and details are here!

It seems some research is in order to find out where to procure such a beauty!

Whee!!

So! Let me mention a few upcoming events!!!
