Cloud Nine

This is my second experiment in the rainbow wrappers style. Early on I thought this was going to be a disaster and was nearly ready to throw it into the scrap pile, but I pressed on in hopes of salvaging the silver. I went a little crazy with the spirals which managed to hide a lot of the weaving work I did, but I'm okay with that considering that all of this silver didn't end up in the scrap pile for which I am thankful!

Black tourmaline and zincite crystals add color to the silver shell. I love the color of the zincite. It's so warm and lovely. One tiny tourmaline bead is wrapped in a herringbone and stitched to the upper left portion of the wrap ... I'm considering adding more accents of this nature but I'm not sure at this point. The piece is at least 99% finished, but I'm debating on a few small changes.

I'm calling it cloud nine because the shape and all of the spirals make me think of a cloud. :)

Thanks for looking.
