Filigree is a
delicate kind of jewellery metalwork, usually of gold and silver, made with
tiny beads or twisted threads, or both in combination, soldered together on to
the surface of an object of the same metal and arranged in artistic motifs.
The
English word filigree is shortened from the earlier use of filigreen which
derives from Latin "filum" meaning thread and "granum"
grain, in the sense of small bead. The Latin words gave filigrana in Italian
which itself became filigrane in 17th-century in French.
The polymer artists apply this techniques well incorporated
in their jewellery these days. The
apliqué work or polymer embroidery too
comes under the head. The artists use extruded threads of clay or very small
balls to decorate in special pattern. Even you can make very small flowers,
leaves wines and attach to a clay surface. At the end you will be enlighted
with a very pretty piece like a nice painting..

| Cassia Fistula |
Today its 10 april 2015, we keralites gonna celebrate the festival Vishu on 14 april every year. When think about vishu the Cassia Fistula flowers comes first. Its the ritual that day we first see the Lord Krishna's idol along with fruits, veggies, must with Cassia flowers. So its inevitable part of celebration......
I thought of duplicating these flowers into my jewellery. First I made a leaf pattern on green color clay, drawn some veins with needle;made pendant bail with clay itself. Hence I do embroidery on this leaf.
Also I did an appliqued leaves on bail to look pretty. How does it look?
