I was considering leaving this one plain, but I think lining the curls with a zillion tiny water-colored rhinestones would a) look awesome, and b) be great practice for setting stones in acrylic. I love those flowing curves and this is going to be a fantastic piece when it's done.
What do y'all think?
In less-enthusiastic news, not everything I touch turns to awesome. I made this barrette the other day and it is a testament to how changing plans partway through is sometimes a bad idea:
I really do love Art Nouveau whiplash lines, but this just didn't work. The original plan called for tinting the lines a dark-ish green, but when it came down to it, I had the "brilliant" idea of trying copper leaf gilding. I think the shiny of the copper just clashes with the matte of the acrylic base. I'm thinking I'm just going to have to scrape out the gilding and see if I can make the tint work. Lesson learned, and this is why I experiment.
