January 2013 Challenge! "TEXTURE"

I am excited about my entry for the PCAGOE January 2013 Texture Challenge! I love working with texture, always have, so when this theme came up I was thrilled. I was hoping I could make a piece that would show my love for texture, and I believe that I did. I'm very happy with my entry to this challenge.

I hope that you will vote for your three favorites this week, from January 1-7, at the PCAGOE blog. Thank you for voting. You could win! Three voters will win a prize this month.

Here is my entry, it is a triangular vessel with texture adorning all three sides and the bottom. Each side is different - sort of a three-in-one vessel that can be turned for visual interest. I went for a modern organic look and think that I accomplished that. :)

I added some imprinted patterns with 23k gold leaf accents on each side for a little mellow bling. The textured base and the raised textured pieces are in the same lovely copper color for a unified look.

I even textured the bottom, and added my "maker's mark" there. All in all, a very enjoyable challenge! Please don't forget to vote at PCAGOE this week. Thank you!
