Thanks you Hel1 for interest and love
Is the background ivory? The new flies look like a mix of inlay & etching for the legs? Where I live, among teenagers, 'fly' is a term of approval. These are definitely fly.
Thanks you all for love.
cameosleuth thanks for your love and comment. Pietra dura is a term for using cut and fitted, highly polished colored stones to create images. The stonework is glued stone-by-stone to a base after being sliced and cut in different shape sections; and then assembled together so precisely that the contact between each section was practically invisible. So the background is also stone.
Ooohh! Sweet pair of Bzz Bzz! Great subject ;-)))
Beautiful brooches Agram!
Kyra and Elisabethan the little one i let change into a ring. Therefore i chokes for the wending ring of my late huisbrand. So h can accompagne me always as a little fly.
Steptoe thanks for looking and loving
Hi! I have these same flies as earrings. Incredible as I’ve never really seen anything like them in the treatment of the wings, etc. They are the most beautiful things!
endanubis thanks for your nice comment. Your flies earrings are they also made of Pietra Dura or Micro Mosaic?
The Pietri dura—they are identical in size, shape, and composition. It took my breath away when I saw yours!
