The paisley is an ancient motif with origins in Zarathustrian culture. It's mysterious tree shape has many elaborations as it has moved across time and continents.
Blue/Green aventurine glaze shimmers in the textured paisley on a soft golden cream opaque background with blue luminescence overall.
I see sister beads in rich purple and red, with large paisleys that almost wrap around the bead like a shawl.
The shimmer and colour bleeds into the background organically.

I have captured a textured paisley from my own ceramic work in cobalt, copper and iron on local Australian clay. Green aventurine glaze shimmers in the paisley on a soft golden cream opaque background with blue luminescence overall.
Just like glaze, the shimmer and colour bleeds into the background organically.
