Aphrodite's Veil 3

Description

Aphrodite's Veil is an absolutely exquisite mask I just completed last night. I had been working on it for 4 days and came to a bump in the road and thought to myself: this is ugly (only because it looked quite different from how it does now).

I threw on 'Dangerous Liasons' (magnificent movie) and was immediately inspired the lovely Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil, who reminded me of Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of Love, certainly not because of how she conducted herself, but because of her vanity, her grace and her countless masks she wore throughout the movie that weren't the kind that tied from behind.

Aphrodite's Veil represents something less innocent than we all believe it to be. Something masked in beauty... something decadent that draws our attention away from whatever the person beneath has chosen to conceal.

This impressive ornament is wound with pure white, sea foam blue and light lilac purple satin cord and accented with:

silver beads
a stunning naturally colored royal purple oyster shell
uncultured natural white freshwater pearls
black freshwater peanut pearls

Enjoy!
