Waves for Ona

These days I have finished a special commission work, one of those you really enjoy! A jewel for Ona’s ankle.

.

Some months ago, I took part in a Bellypainting organized by Cositas de Mamis, which is a parents community in Menorca; I painted the belly where Ona was. Ona means wave, so the inspiration was her name. It was a great experience: you don’t usually have the chance to paint on a support which is alive… and moves depending on where the brush is!

Ona was born and some months later, her parents commissioned me a jewel for her. After a few sketches, I began to work on it and by combining silver, small lapis beads and anodized titanium, a jewel full of waves was born.  They have picked it up this morning… and it looks very cute on her… don’t you think so??!!
