dc #89: CROWN




 *sigh*...

*1
 
the Queen of the Castle at the Eisenbach 
takes a look at old paintings of her ancestors and her silverware made of solid gold...








 guilded gondola (they did beautiful journeys on the Eisenbach 
having picnic under willows giving shade)...

and some insignia...





 Its been a while...

I take my sketch book and start to portray some crowns






 Open Crown of solid gold with emerald, for the dry and warm season



Closed Crown of solid gold with ruby and velvet, for the wet and cold season



Ring Crown of solid gold with turquoises, amber and ruby for good mood



Crown with jags of solid gold for bantam



Crown for princesses of solid gold with amethyst beads



                                                  *2

 Nowadays I am not wearing a crown... it damaged my hair...  
but try to be aware of my crown chakra more often... its a very upraising feeling ;)


 This week's host of the 89th dc is dear Stefanie Seltner with the theme CROWN. 
Only this word strikes a chord in me!  Crown... (Latin) corona... for me the materialised form of a Heiligenschein, a gloriole!

 I've taken a sketch book that I own for a while... Stefanie inspired me because of her 'sketchbook project 2013' to experiment and learn about it (Danke!). So I notice that its nice to draw in it with a pen, but difficult to paint with aqua...

Now, please take a look at more crowns at Stefanie's marvellous place!

  1. Haha, großartig! Für jede Stimmung das passende Krönchen! Die royale Qual der Wahl in Sachen Kopfbedeckung. Ich bleibe wohl vorerst bei simplen Strickmützen, die halten eh viel wärmer! ;o)
    Danke für diese tolle und umfangreiche Kollektion!
