I've been having a nice time building bugs out of gemstones. This bluebottle fly is constructed from a sapphire, Australian opal, topaz and lava. The ring is solid silver and the blackening in the legs and hairs is a sulphuric patina.
Inspired by shibayama it's a wonderful way of using chipped and cracked gemstones from the studio. Such a fun way to decrease waste in the studio.
