Another one from the vault of unpublished
images, one that takes inspiration from Byzantium this time. Having been raised
in Greece anything to do with Byzantium was always connected with religion in
an almost oppressive way. It took me quite a few years to see beyond that and
appreciate those times and all their cultural output more.
The design of this plate reminded me of the
cross-shaped stained glass windows that are so common in orthodox churches. The
base is the amazing inky blue with reddish shimmer O.P.I - Every Month is
Oktoberfest and the stamping was done with the chameleon of greens a-England -
Dragon. I couldn’t believe how different Dragon looked here and how much it
shimmered and sparkled. The pictures don’t do it enough justice!
Displaying different colours.
Dragon is so beautiful as a stamp!
