This is one of the pendants I made for World Fantasy. I didn't make it back to my studio. The obsidian blade is one of the stunning knapped pieces that I got on my trip to Oregon. The pendant in sterling is about 2.5" long. The pearl is untreated and gorgeous. The colors are beautiful but a bit exaggerated in the photo. It's the effect of lighting it to show the knapping.

I wrote about this very different knapped design with photo before I left.

I'm starting to work on some new designs in bronze that are influenced by the "Patterns from the Sky" photographs that I posted about last time.

There is a quality to the patined bronze I've been working with that is inspiring.
