Matrix for Jetz
About this design:
This is a piece that I posted a while back when I was just beginning to work on it.. it has undergone a few changes since then but finally it is finished and Jessica LOVES it! It so totally fits her style and she is looking forward to the big hair show in October where she can show it off onstage..
These pics dont really capture the feel of the piece .. with the red eyed skulls sitting on the branches of the coral tree.. the coral "branches" remind me of Jess's dready hair lol
Components:
Silver Artistic wire, Coral, more Coral, blackstone skulls, Faceted Onyx and Quartz Crystal ( from LB)Additional Images:
