Queen Akasha Inspired Top

Intricate swirls rise from molded cup shapes, catching light through layers of color-shift purple, gold chrome, and iridescent abalone — a wearable sculpture that flexes and moves with you. Charity Grace builds the whole piece on a wire frame covered in flexible polymer clay, baking in stages so each layer of detail has a firm surface to work on. The kind of build that rewards patience with something that looks impossibly ornate but started with wire and clay on your kitchen table.
