This is a new experiment, matching necklace and earrings, Sgraffito (the technique where you scratch away the pattern in the dusty enamel layer so you can see the color beneath).
New variation on an old theme here. I've been trying to make my ideas... better! This one, I admit, is slightly inspired by the last airbender. But people have been telling me it resembles water for awhile now, so I think I'll just go with that. Working on some earrings to match, and some new tree designs.
