Animal Necklaces




Attempt 1



I wanted to make some small animals out of paper mache to hang on the end of necklaces.
The only problem is that they are so small that its hard to form their bodies into
definitive shapes without letting it look like a blob.  I ended up using twigs to form the body,
paper mache wrapped with wire and hot glue to hold it all together... so after that,
I moved onto my second idea....



Attempt 2




So instead of going to all the hassle, just go to your local toy shop and buy
an adorable rubber animal, spray paint it gold, stick a little hook in its back
 ...... et VOILA.... INSTANT NECKLACE!!

Almond Blossoms















34" x 58"
Acrylic

My Parents have had this beautiful white frame which they bought years ago at a antique store in California.  My Mom has been asking me to paint something to go in it so I finally got around to it this Christmas.  She really liked Van Gogh's Almond Blossoms, so this is my interpretation of it!
