Lore Olympus nymphs!

Rhoda is based on these mini roses I got at the store.

And Briar (formally named Rhoda before I swapped their names) is an old character of mine that was originally not an LO character but I decided to make her one.

Three Roses

I was asked to create an original pendant/necklace based on the client's name. For privacy concerns, I can't tell you her name but this is the finished piece.

It takes time to flesh out a design based on words or a specific theme. I'm not like an AI bot - spitting out rendered images from a collection of terms. With the way I design, I need to work with real components to see how, and if, they will work together. The first one I started was a single vintage brass mesh rose. Despite a great multicolored aged patina, it wasn't really speaking to me. The next design was a single mesh rose set in a wood base, surrounded by a tangle of leaves and branches. It wasn't going anywhere either.

Finally, I found in my supplies these tiny rose gold roses - only 6 to 8mm wide. I mounted each flower on a plaited brass wire. On two of them I included a tiny copper leaf. I also made some curled tendrils coming off the stalks. It was a tight fit but eventually the roses were in the right position to seal the vial. I made each cap with brass tubing and metal disks. It looks like a specimen collection with the brass fittings and hanging bar.

I did try to include a LED light but it didn't really work with the design only illuminating the top rose.

I hope she loves it but if not, no problem, I'll try again and list this one in my store. It's so difficult photographing small items, even worse if they are under glass.

Random picture of that rose bush I won in a raffle. xD It’s called Mandarin Sunblaze. It’ll stay a small bush, but the flowers are huge for the size that it is! I’m so happy!! xD

It’s also almost my birthday, and I wanted a rose bush for my birthday. So, perfect timing! Ha ha ❤️

Finally got that impulsively adopted miniature rose into a bigger pot.

One of Bela Lugosi's Planters, yeah. 😁 There's still another smaller one like that and a box to be filled. Hopefully that other geranium can go into the box this evening.

Thinking I might tuck some alyssum in to either side once those are big enough to transplant, but we'll see. ETA: I know the rose is likely to try and fill it up pretty soon, but variety!
