Summer Sky

(2007) 2"x 1 3/4" for the top silver panels each, 2"x2" for the pendant, 16" for overall length of the necklace.

Art Clay Silver (cut, sculpted, fired and patinaed), blue enamel, silver wire, faceted labradorite beads, blue agate beads, silver beads, Bali silver, silver findings, Fireline

Another design that I had lying around for seeming ages. It's based on tropical plant leaves. My original intention was to make this into a very filigreed and open piece where all the areas thay are now appearing in blue enamel would have been missing.

However, I'm glad that I eventually abandoned that plan, as the resulting piece is much more stable, and the blue enamel has a wonderfully vibrant blue iridescence over the silver. It looks like a glimpse of summer sky through silvery leaves.
