The Grapevine

Description

Vines twisted, broken, abandoned
whispering lies through the wind.
Grapes fallen to soured wine,
misery,envy abound.
False prophets wagging their tongues
like tattered rags in a hurricane.
A child's laughter in a grown woman's throat.
She is the hyena chasing it's tale.
In circles she spins her story,
delighting in her own simple imaginings.
Running through the withering vineyard
screaming at the decaying fruit.
In her madness she believes.

I've been playing around with a lot of my older tutorials lately. This is just another one of the pieces I've come up with from the carnival pendant tutorial. When I first started working on the older stuff again I thought it would feel like I was moving backward. Instead, it feels more like getting reacquainted with old friends. :)

The stone is white Mountain Jade (trade name. I think it's really dolomite, but I'm not sure). I tried to make the little clusters of seed beads look like bunches of grapes (not sure I succeeded in that though).
