Setter/Pendant/Sculpture

This is a reversible Irish setter pendant with larimar that I made in sterling for Wendy Czarnecki. The dogs are different on each side.

She asked me to make a base for it and I was really glad she did. It wasn't a concept that had occurred to me and it works fabulously well. She can now display it in a cabinet when she's not wearing it. It's designed so that both sides of the pendant work as sculptures. I'm making a another one for her for a very different pendant and I'm looking forward to doing it occasionally for other designs. Obviously I put this up a lot larger then the original piece but I fell like it shows it for more clearly.




I'm still polishing but it's on the smaller pieces.  The griffin cast beautifully and I'm looking forward to working on it.
I've set a gorgeous rainbow obsidian in a ring that was unfortunately unphotorgraphable. Hopefully almost all the major work will be set within a week or so.

I'm going to have a gorgeous collection for Worldcon, including a gold pendant woven with brilliant opal beads.
