Orange Blossom Beaded Bowl




I finally finished this one! It was inspired by my orange tree in the backyard, the best oranges I have ever had. The bowl was sculpted out of air dry paperclay. I painted the design in acrylic paint, then glued each bead in place one at a time with tweezers. I decided to make a little bee charm for an accent, I made this little guy out of precious metal clay. I kept the outside of the bowl simple in a vibrant orange and finished it with another blossom on the bottom.
