Something about the randomness of mokume gane calls to me from time to time. My muse is stalled, but the desire to create remains... so I roll out the layers of tinted translucent with copper leafing in between, press craters into the bottom layer, and see what slices off the top.
A friend of mine characterizes us both as magpies... well, the joy of seeing that leafing popping through satisfies the magpie in me as well!!

I know this is from back in 2007 but had to comment. I absolutely love the look of this bead. It reminds me of a dream I had of a carved jade statue. It was of a Chinese women & through the jade ran rivulets of opal, gleaming through the light green.
The copper metal running 'through' this bead reminds of the statue in my dream. I know opal veins aren't found in jade but when I saw your bead, I thought it was the closest thing I'd ever seen in real to it. Very, very beautiful - as is all your work!!
