In The Danger Zone
Honica writes; “To give you fair warning….you’re in the “Danger Zone’….power and passion are the attributes of the colour red, so prepare for adventure. Whether your design is extravagantly complex, or simply elegant it embodies the desire for the exotic and the extraordinary.
As I craft these designs in red, I pay assiduous attention to detail. To work the metal, I use hand and electric tools. I shape, tumble, punch, clean, cut, hammer, texture, antique, satin-brush and coat the brass forms. Then I am ready to complete the composition.
I have collected a huge variety of beads in the flame-hot hues of scarlet, crimson, ruby, cherry and wine reds. I pay particular attention to shape and texture so that transparent ‘jewels’ drop like ripe fruit and light dances on smooth polished surfaces”.
