Please click on the small images below to view larger photos. There are times I think a piece can be improved or revamped. This was one of those cases. I took the piece I had originally called Inspiration and revamped it to become something different. I had been invited to send a piece to a gallery show in Moscow and the only piece I had available was Inspiration. White didn't seem the right color to send to Moscow in mid-December. So, I decided to add some color to give it a feeling of a Fabergé egg. This sculpture has over 2000 Swarovski crystals that have been individually glued on the piece to give it a Fabergé feeling. The crown/garland of the piece is covered with many small real, (natural) gems which include very good quality sapphires, emeralds, rubies, citrons, and amethysts. There is a quality diamond in one of the center flowers, too. The rest of the diamond looking gems in her garland and necklace are high quality man-made CZs. She stands on a hand blown glass egg. She holds small Fabergé eggs in her hands which are embellished with the tiniest of Swarovski crystals. Her hair is Tibetan lamb. Her wings are made from Art Deco pieces of metal. There is an antique button at the center of her wings in back. The button is from my Grandmother Williams' button collection. Though she seems covered in riches she reminds us that our true worth is what is in our heart and what we are willing to share with others. I wanted to call her a name that meant a person who has a giving heart in Russian. I have a friend who speaks fluid Russian. She suggested calling the piece Golden Heart. That is the special way the Russians think of people who are generous of heart … they have golden hearts.
