Brooch pendant La Gioconda

Memories of travel are always episodic.

My memories of Paris is the Eiffel tower in the lanterns, narrow streets in the Latin quarter, small and cozy restaurants serving mussels in white wine...
Huge the Louvre, multilingual crowd at the portrait of Mona Lisa... Walking around the city and endless wildness of life...
Sweet France is always in my heart. As well as the ocean, and cookies with jam of mirabelle plum in some small town café in Brittany...

That's when you know that the value of existence - the lovely items that look pleasing and remain forever in the memory...

Portrait of La Gioconda in the technique of miniature hand embroidery silk on silk. Here is my author's technique of working with the finest silk threads and fibres of wild silk and oak silkworm.
Maximum immersion in the subject of Leonardo da Vinci, starting with reading books about his biography (Serge Bramly, Leonardo da Vinci). This is what prompted my God)))

I can just say that I have postponed this work due to the complexity - we need a strong focus and belief in success. Then the second time it finished in one breath. Do not get tired to consider it. Really draws the eye...
The face of the complex. But rather mysterious. But let mysteries remain content and content, as well as past full of secrets... and in the taste.
