Hand painted mermaid bracelet

Description

Concept
I have a fondness for jewelry, and one day I walked by some glass tiles at the craft store and went... it'd be so cool to have something made from that. So I grabbed some tiles, found some bracelet settings that fit the tiles, and then ran amuk. On this piece I just wanted to have a mermaid, that's all, but it was a huge challenge to keep an overall flow of a composition while still having each element look well in the individual tiles that were spaced by the bracelet facets.

Materials
Glass tiles (stained glass, the blue background is the original tile color), stainless steel bracelet settings, acrylic paint, clear enamel varnish.

Original
Was sold some years ago. I do take custom orders for these at times, they run you about $50-$75 depending on what you want painted on them.

Side Note
The box itself was also hand colored, with a hint as to which bracelet was in it. They also came with tiny cards in envelopes that had a little handprinted certificate of authenticity to go with the piece.
