Giant Sunflower

I adore all of her work, especially the Chinese brush paintings of cats. While looking for a piece to rip I found her "Giant Sunflower. It is such a whimsical piece and I wanted to try to capture it with beads.

I used yellow Czech pressed glass leaves and size 6/o, 8/o and 11/o matte brown seed beads in a spiral rope pattern. The necklace is 18", the bracelet is 8" and the earrings are 1 1/4" long.
