The Curious Tree Angel Medallion turned into Curious Talisman Number 35. I turned the tree upside down to make the branches into roots.
The Talisman developed organically. I began with a felted section with beads to place in the center frame. The green tones grew from the subject. It seemed to call for some natural colors and they matched the felted piece. Halfway through, as the piece was shaping up, the Talisman began to appear to me. I like to think her power is rooted in the earth.
METHOD USED:
- Felt a section large enough to fit the center frame. Add beads.
- Paint the alterable with a base color. Develop the color with layers of metallic paint and contrast the wings with a flat color.
- Select a face and assemble the piece with glue.
- Add a rhinestone chain and a cow tag number for the bottom.
- Add a clock face and a spring for the face.
