Looking for a "firm hand shake", look no furter - denne krabbe gav et "fast håndtryk" |
This
weeks challenge in Artsy Wednesday is Inspired by jewelry. But I don’t wear
that much jewelry any longer, but when I do I go for the more untraditional
things in my drawer.
I
decided a pendant made of amber and a crab claw – two of many things that
symbolizes the North Sea, that I’m lucky enough to live close to. Amber is
called the gold of the North, google it to learn more about it’s fascinating
story. Crab claws are a delicacy IMO even better than the slightly fatter lobster meat, and we love to eat it and serve it to our guests too. Normally they are
quite black on the upper side of the claw, and that’s how I painted mine in
acrylic colors over China Glaze Sky High-Top. The top coat is Seche Vite.

Denne uges udfordring i Artsy Wednesday er inspireret af
et smykke. Jeg burger nu til dags sjældent smykker, men når jeg gør, så vælger
jeg som regel noget af det mere utraditionelle i min skuffe.
Jeg valgte et vedhæng i rav og krabbeklo, to ting der for
mig blandt andet symboliserer Vesterhavet, som jeger så heldig at bo tæt ved.
Krabbekløer er efter min mening en endnu mere lækker spise end den lidt federe hummer, og vi elsker det
her i huset. Normalt er kløerne sorte på oversiden, så derfor malede jeg min
klo sådan. Jeg brugte akrylfarver over den smukke blå China Glaze Sky High-Top,
og toplakken er Seche Vite.
This is so super cool!I love it because its so different and unique looking,well done my friend!
SvarSletAww, thanks a lot Mimi, I'm so glad you like it!
SletJeg var godt nok lige nødt til at læse teksten, for det var ikke ligefrem jewlery jeg tænkte på da jeg så billederne ;-) Men du skriver jo også selv "de lidt utraditionelle" :-)
SvarSletDet ser vildt fedt ud, det du har malet på neglene - det ligner nærmest sådan et nærfoto af en "natur" ting så man rigtig kan se hvordan det ser ud på tæt hold :-p
