Recently, friends of mine asked me to do a piece for them. I found it a bit difficult to complete this piece as this couple are, well, friends of mine but also one of them is a psychic and the other an artist. They were easy to work with as far as what their vision of the piece was, they knew what size and colors and basic content. It felt like it was going to be a straightforward piece, one where all the elements were going to lay out on the canvas in symphonic way. But I was in a slump. My vision was cloudy. The eight ball told me to "Try again later".
I was given some personal items to put in the resin block. This helped a lot. Peter's sister had recently passed away and one of Markus's friends died as well, they had give me a piece of jewelry from both of them. Markus gave me a moonstone and requested a Luna moth in the piece. The resin pieces came together beautifully. One of the earrings became sparkles that grew up a branch and then there was scarab necklace with it's wings outstretched that I used to circle the moonstone. I then wanted a very crisp transfer of the trees and branches so i used a new technique called Lazertran.
I am quite pleased with the end result. Although it took me so very long to complete. I think they were very happy as well.
