Rocket Ship and Floral Jade
Sep. 22nd, 2018 02:38 pmI just finished, in wax carving, a pendant design of a classic 1950's science fiction rocket ship. The flame is a tear drop garnet and it looks weathered as if it has actually traveled in space. I was delighted to get the commission. It's the first time I've been commissioned to make one. There will definitely be a photo. I'm really happy with it.
And I've been working on carving a two opal pendant that's been taking a lot of time and thought.
And then there is the metal work. It's being busy.
The photo is of a floral jade set in sterling with a small diamond. The photo is very good in showing the silver work. The jade has more subtle and complicated coloring then I could capture in the photo but it does give good sense of it. The diamond is far far more brilliant. Size is about 2.5"- from the collection of Marsha Elkin Jones.

I'm going to Cid's dance concert "The All Joan Show" at the Joe Goode space in San Francisco . Saw it last night and it was fabulous! If you're going tonight I'll see you there. http://joegoode.org/box-office/
