Winter Wonderland #3 - In Process

Photo by Lynda – I begin to arrange the largest gemstones, and establish the outside edge  of the artwork. I stitch around the gemstones to anchor them in place. This is called, “Capturing the Cabochons.”

Look for the cabochon’s in this artwork.

What is a Cabochon?

A cabochon, pronounced cab-uh-shon, is defined as a gemstone that has been shaped and polished rather than faceted.

The term comes from the French word “caboche,” which means head or noggin.

Cabochon gemstones generally have a smooth, domed top surface and a flat base.

The top of the gemstone is highly polished and it reflects light.

  1. Lynda, it’s beautiful! I love how you describe how you actually make beautiful art pieces.

    • Thanks for your encouragement.
      I am currently working on a new piece – it will complete the 5 pieces that are the Winter Series. I plan to have these in exhibitions this year – just entered one of them in a show that opens in February. I cannot see the pieces at all but I just depend and trust God to let me see them through His eyes and to use His VISION to guide me. We can TRUST our God with everything. He makes a way where there is NO WAY. Fantastic isn’t it.

    • Thank you kindly!
      It is always a pleasure to hear from readers and I look forward to lots more good times with folks who enjoy my writings and artworks.
      I am so blessed by God in every aspect of my life.

  2. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing the intricasies of the time and patience it takes to produce beauty in your art and in your poetry and for sharing a part of you with us.
