"Three Moons Rising"

Materials: "Modern Retro" ** Dyed Hardwood, Turquoise gemstones, French barrette clip

Far away on a lonely planet, horizon barren of all but dunes of sand, three moon rise, creating a pulsating glow that seems to reverberate with the colors of the universe.

I hand-carved this barrette from one of my custom colors, "Modern Retro" Dyed Hardwood, then inlaid the "moons" with crushed Turquoise gemstones. A unique and elegant piece.This dyed and laminated hardwood has been impregnated with resin and densified, thus made extremely strong and durable, and also resistant to temperature variations and moisture.

The barrette is backed by the highest quality "Made in France" metal clip, which is approximately two and three-quarter inches long. Total length of the barrette is about three and one-half inches, height (at center) is just under one and one-quarter inches. Curved for comfort: heirloom quality. This barrette is engraved on the back with my signature/artist's mark.
