Lots of Design Work and Royal Sahara Jasper

The technical work on the map sculpture is getting more complex, given the size and the casting issues. Nothing that isn't doable but more than I initially expected.

I'm also working on a design for a wild horse jasper pendant that takes part of the pattern and reflects it in the design, with a dramatic emphasis that makes a very different kind of pendant and transforms the vision of the stone.

Photo is of a royal sahara jasper in bronze that has some subtle carving that I'm really happy with. The stone itself has a natural subtlety of design that speaks really well of my lapidary.

The design is done in patined bronze and is about 2" high. From the collection of Bayla Fine.


This is my time for jasper in a couple of it's many manifestations
