France\u2019s Karine Barrera<\/a>, like so many of us, has spent a fair amount of time exploring crackle techniques. This necklace, created for her mother, a painter, shows a slightly different variation of crackle along with a faux ceramic look. She is also working in a brighter array of colors than she normally does, taking inspiration from the more saturated colors she says her mother prefers. The exploration of all these elements resulted in a piece that, although presented in a balanced, symmetrical composition, has a lot of energy and intrigue to draw a viewer in.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To see Karine’s other work, which tends towards more muted colors and a tribal style, take a look at her Akak blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
