Tera's - Steampunk Clara - necklace

Hallo,
Tera here with a bit of Steampunk for you today using Charmaine Flannery's 'Clara' .
I colored her with prismacolor pencils and then added her to this large charm with a crystal lacquer and some tiny seed beads. I just love how she turned out and decided she needed to be a necklace.
I added the drop charm after some altering (it started out as an old earring), then added the chain and a beaded strand - took me lots of futzing and fussing to get the chain and beaded strand just the way I wanted but can't wait to show her off to you!!!
I hope you like her too :)
Have a great day!!!!
Tera

I am about to adventure into the life of Retirement and am looking forward to significantly more time in the studio, playing with my Grandkids and traveling now and then with the hubby. I have spent 41 years as an RN - mostly in Critical Care. I picked up painting and more formal art again when my kids went from High School into college. I have always done some form of art, even in the busy years of Career, Mom, Military wife - mostly in the crafty forms(sewing, rubber stamping, its a long list...) Now I mainly paint with encaustic wax. Encaustic is an ancient art form from Greece and Egypt that uses beeswax, natural tree resin and pigments. Encaustic is painted while melted in thin layers and every layer is fused to those below with heat( I mostly use a torch). True to my 'normal' self I have 3 or 4 other hobbies that keep me busy too , and you will be seeing(and have been) those here too.
