Warring States~people pass the dots~Dzi inspiration part 2

Here are all the views! This was a fun bead to take pictures of. Continuing from my last post; creating warring states dot/eye beads with people on them. I am creating Dzi style beads with the same style of dot/eyes. As I strived for perfection; over, and over again, trying to have straight, defined lines. Wanting each dot to be centered…the people in relief, no bleeding colors between the layers. Most of the parts of this bead are very defined, and perfected. Here is a stage of my progress.

Hm…that was a patient one….This is a one of a kind. The pedestal the bead is on is copper plated, and will someday be finished (when I get around to it).

The people remind me of cave paintings thousands of years old, and the design is ancient as well. The two together makes a good story.

Taking the time to be objective about my work has allowed my brain to take it this way. Thanks to this team blog.
