Started this violin - my third one - some time ago but could never get the composition as I wanted so gave up and put it in the cupboard until inspiration came a-calling again
It took a while but as soon as I saw Finnabairs new ornate frame mould I had a spark of an idea
This violin had such a beautiful shiny wooden case that, although damaged in parts, was too good to paint over so I left it to speak for itself and hoped the decoration would sit happily in contrast ... this is why there is no glitter or beads added to the composition
Once it started to fall into place I loved making this - shades of peacock blue, copper and gold - very much my favourite colours to use
