Error & Success

This first pendant "Error" Took a lot of planing, I designed that flower first in a paper, then I painted it trying to mimic the colors of enamel I have, you know to achieve a good color convination, then I twisted every little divider in a smaller scale to make my design into this pendant , after so much work this came out, it is not bad, but I'm somehow disapointed because it didn't came like I imagen it would, so I started to look for the reason and this is something I discover:

When you use only matte colors there is a lack in three dimentional feeling that I happen to like so much, also matte colors tend to be more moody than transparents, you can see a lot more bubbles formed on matte colors.

For this second pendant "Success" I worked half as much as for the first one and it came out so much nicer and here is why:

I used only transparent colors in several shades of the same color, traying to make degrades of the color so is has a more three dimentional feeling. Also the colors seem to be more complementary to each other. So next colors I'm buying are going to be different shades of transparent green, because I use here the only two I have, and some how it would look even better with a third shade of green.

Thanks for looking
