Hello Fabulous Beaders,
The word mirror derives from the French word “mirour,” from the Latin “mirari”, to admire. The Romans, however, used the word “speculum,” from “specere”—to look, or behold. Either way, Here’s Looking at You! is a small, decorative compact. Colored aluminum metal is used for the front and colored, patterned, metal is used in the back of the compact. A central cushion cut CZ is bezeled and surrounded with set CZs for a striking focal point for the lid. The mirror is inside and is simply bezeled. A beaded hinge has set CZs on the ends and helps to control how far back the lid will fold. A bezeled CZ along the front edge of the lid is a faux closure. How lovely to use this beautiful piece to check your makeup or put on some lipstick. Here’s looking at you!
Happy Beading!
Cynthia
