Miss Florence's Tree

Each year new artists are asked to do a palette for the Florence Griswold Museum.
I was so excited to be a part of it this year.  
For my palette , I used acrylic paint, (the first time for me) and had fun making this red: layers upon layers.  Then I drilled holes in the palette.  I rolled lots of pieces of sterling wire through the rolling mill.  Then I pierced them through the palette.

I heated the other end of the wires with a torch to secure the pieces. The delicate sterling wires dangle and shimmer.    Check out Miss Florence's Tree at the Florence Griswold Museum

Here is my Sterling Palette.
See you at the party!  Thursday, Dec 2nd 5:30-7:30  for tickets
