A Galaxy Of Sapphire & Turquoise Pools

#74.

The first of three pieces cut from this piece of Matkalla Maalle designer by Teresa Moorhouse for Marimekko (this blue version is now discontinued).

It depicts "the feeling of freedom which one gets on a car trip as views change rapidly" but after I cut the "gems" into rounds, they looked more like swimming pools to me.

This is a piece made for those who love wearing The Empress Dowager's New Jewels with the ruched side showing!
