Hazel-Boyd-Elisabeth Orchid


Artist: Dawn Vertrees (Fort Lauderdale, FL)
Honorable Mention, Metal Clay

Dawn admitted that this was her first attempt at constructing a metal clay flower and we think she excelled at it! Of her subject matter, she says "It was inevitable that I sculpt a single orchid because of my love of orchids." The large round beads are made with porcelain bisque beads and Art™ Clay Silver overlay paste. She also made the metal clay clasp, and then accented her silver pieces with sterling stardust beads, Bali-style spacers and Swarovski crystal bicones.

Review the 2007 contest details to see what this contestant was up against. And remember, it’s never too early to start planning for the 2008 contest!
