Designed this while sitting in the dentist office waiting for my son to get his wisdom teeth pulled. Hope you enjoy it. I wanted to focus on greens and blues with a touch of warmth in the central jewel and copper leading.

This does remind me of the good ol' Wizard of Oz.. Wonderful job with the jewels, they look very realistic! And I love the blues and greens also.. It looks like there's a pic inside or beyond the jewel.. Great job!

Did you have any onlookers? .. a crowd gathered 'round? .. a crew of people selling peanuts in the stands? .. cheerleaders?

You could've .. you just gotta think big


May I ask how you're doing the faceted jewels .. is it the underlying image

Hello Nathan, this image is another splendid jeweled piece of art fit for the queen of the land! There doesn't seem to be another way for me to describe it, I have used all my adjectives! Teasing, well, in part! I have indeed ran out of words! While even then, they sometimes seem inadequate to describe one's capabilities, don't they? Suffice it to say, it is magnificent! Sincerely, Marilyn

This is gorgeous Nathan. Excellent work. I sure hope your son is recovering nicely. Poor fella probably has chip munk cheeks right now. :) I never had any wisdom
teeth, but I've had my fair share of teeth pulled and filled. Also I've had a root canal
and a crown. I'll pray for him. God Bless You. Happy Easter. Sarah =^..^=

A stunning image. The blues & greens are gorgeous together.... one of my favorite color combos. The emerald in the center just sparkles. An amazing design....Excellent work.

Gorgeous, though the leading is a bit too close too gold. The other colours are simply wonderful though and this has a marvellous sense of depth. Too bad it commemorates such a potentially painful occasion for your family.
