The Sparkly Bear

The Sparkly Bear French cuff was inspired by the pet name locals have given to the Brunswick shopping centre Barkly Square. His gentle sparkling - best seen in person - was achieved by adding neutral toned glitter to carefully applied wet paint and washes. He is a polar bear ambling through the Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis.
