“…So the Queen Boadicea, standing loftily charioted,
Brandishing in her hand a dart and rolling glances lioness-like,
Yell'd and shriek'd between her daughters in her fierce volubility….”
From “Boadicea” by Alfred Lord Tennyson
Boudicca (also known as Boadicea) was the warrior Queen of the Celtic Iceni tribe; a patriotic Briton, a heroine, a woman and a leader who stood her ground against foreign invasion.
This necklace was created for the next Bead Art Originals Colour Inspiration – Black, dark green & copper with Boudicca as inspiration for the beginning of September. The necklace was created around a fellow Bead Art Original member’s (Lisa Peters Art) cabochon.
Queen Boudicca – OOAK Necklace
I’m so in love with this necklace!!! and I’m so reluctant to part with it!!! it looks soooo good on me!!! and it’s just so me!!! I wish I had another same shape cab from Lisa Peters Art and I would make myself another one in a heartbeat… but alas, Lisa’s work is OOAK (I have to ask her if she has any similar cabs in the same shape)….
Oh my goodness! That is, well, it's so warrior woman gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIf Lisa doesn't have another one in this shape...I might (and I can be bribed into parting with it by a good friend for such a worthy cause ;o).
Wow Triz this is one of your best ever!!!! I don't think I could part with it either.
