The Warrior Woman...

Speaking of Joan Tucker of Off Center Productions and her new blog, I just finished this piece, "The Warrior Woman," which features a sweet face cabochon made out of porcelain.  I wanted the color palette to be bold and fiery, thusly I chose bright reds, amber yellows, and sunburnt oranges.  

The pearls, carnelian, and amber are from Talisman Associates Inc.  The cable chain is from Ornamentea, the Swarovski crystals are from Fusion Beads and the natural brass filigree and clasp set are from Vintaj via Jamie Hogsett.  The brass filigree worked great to simulate a warrior's helmut and to hold the cabochon, which of course is from Off Center Productions.

Andrew, this is wonderful. That filigree is perfect for this piece. And I absolutely love all of the strong colours in this piece.

Thanks everyone for your kind words! I had a wonderful time making it and was really inspired by the little face.
