[Masque Girl Basse-Taille]

the world

the world needs people to keep this type of art alive, this technical work, something to put the mind too, something not random, but purposeful and skilled.

it could be anything, but when i look at it i see nothing but a girl in a dress, somehow i made the connection without directly seeing or being told what it was, great work.

radiodark responds:

Yep! Enameling isn't really about to disappear, but it's not nearly as popular as it used to be during for instance the Art Nouveau period when Tiffany and Lalique made some really gorgeous works of enameled art (Lalique's jewelery was/is exquisite in design and craftmanship- goes to show what can be accomplished when you're a lucky bastard with a workshop of full of people to execute whatever designs you come up with. Yes, I'm jealous).
As to the latter part of your comment, that's good to know. It really isn't a terribly abstracted design, but you wouldn't believe how many people came up to me before I got the enamel on to complement me on my lovely tree.

[Jewel God]

inspiring

this is really a beautiful concept and image to me. the glow, the mist, the creature all are very fluid. i want to believe the jewel god is ancient just from its presence. other ideas fleet to my mind.

in anycase i was sad to see you arent selling any posters of this.

Glad you like it, thanks!
