The Jewel
- Photographic based digital montage – Feb, 2008.
- Created over several hrs…2 nights this week (suffering from concussion) from an accidental fall over the wk’end.
- Photoshop montage combining digital shots of jewels, scanned samples of vintage style wallpaper and added drawn elements. Fifty layers retouched, blended, filtered, colour & tonal curve adjusted.
- I’m considering using the design as a furniture (upholstering) velvety/suede fabric for a small round bedroom foot stool.

This is what it looks like when i reverse my eyeballs
Something organic about this?
Welcome back Ange :)
Ange
hehe, cheers danny:)
well i do have concussion from an accidental fall hitting my head hard this past wk’end.
not fun but inspired to create this.
Juilee Pryor
gee whiz Ange if this is what happens when you fall over and hit your head then maybe we should all start falling over. What are you going to do with it? dress fabric or digital screensaver ? its lovely rich colours would look pretty mad on velvet or something like that.
Ange
hey juilee, well strangely enough ive been looking at re-upholstering a foot stool i have & havent seen any fabric i like as yet. would def be great if i could get this design printed on a suede based one when im done working on it.

Ange

Almost looks like sea spongey coral under water growth . ( with jewels from the pirates chest ).

Is it a big bump Ange?
This is very cool. I see faces everywhere…..
Ange
thx, not too big. just painful.

I feel incredibly nostalgic when looking at this gorgeous design….I was thinking fabric and I see in your description you are considering uses the design as such.
I really just like this so much…..I can’t pin point all the reasons why, I’m blown away….
Geoffrey Wicking

You have inspired me Ange…need to put some more work into my RB account. Might have to bash my head against something for my own system reboot!!!

Thomas Dodd
Do you think the fall/concussion shifted your consciousness a bit and inspired this piece’s look? It certainly is a departure from your other work… I like the mixture of order and chaos … beautifully muted tones and elegantly-textured… reminds me of “the Wars in Heaven”...
Ange in reply to Thomas Dodd’s comment
quite possibly yes. but i cannot entirely be sure either:) order & chaos spot on…its what i always try to achieve in artwork of this nature.
Michelle Boyer
Fabulous work
Carlos Teófilo
Fantastic work Ange.

I read the comment before I really looked at this, and it looks like concussion.
It’s kinda swimmy and there’s a crunch in there too.
This is what concussion would be like if it were a fun thing.
A nice thing.
Hmmm, shut up mike.
