This is a surprise project that I've made for a COF in one of the forum that I'm in. The name of the group is The Forbidden City Group. I've altered a champagne bottle holder by adding a necklace of friendship on it. I've made the small frames out of colourful beads and use some craft wire to make a loop for threading it together. Though I must say that attaching and threading all the beads really takes a lot of patience to do. I really hope they liked this surprise.

SOLD Inside the Forbidden City.24cm x 19cm.9.5. in x 7.5in.Oil gesso board.Today’s painting is obviously not a little bit of Brittany. It is actually a Little Bit of Beijing. I found a load of old sketchbooks and pictures from my travels the other day and thought that a change of venue might be good for the soul. The doorway is inside the Forbidden City in Beijing. With that beautiful range of reds and a splash of scarlet at the end of the corridor it easily caught my eye. I have no idea what the writing said but I tried to copy it, I remember at the time thinking that it was either very profound or said something like “staff only, unless you are the red paint delivery person”
