2007) 3"x 1 1/4" for the two silver components, 15 1/2" for the overall length of the necklace.
Art Clay Silver (cut, sculpted, fired and patinaed), carmine enamel, silver wire, faceted garnet beads, faceted onyx beads, round carnelian beads, silver beads, Bali silver, silver findings, Fireline
This design was inspired by the elegant ornamentation of Thai dancing costumes. I cut two panels of art clay, carved the greenware before firing and then added enamel to the depressions in the clay before firing a second time.
The enamel was supposed to fire to a bright reddish-orange, but instead burned to a palette of wine-reds, umbers and oranges. I fired according to the instructions, but had similar mishaps with my red glass before, so I may run some trials at slightly lower temps and see what develops.
Instead of giving up on the pendant, I selected stone beads that would subtly accentuate those colors and am now very happy with the result.
Wow, that's gorgeous! I like how delicate it seems, and how the color in the actual pendant is subtle, so that you see it when you take a second look ^^

This is gorgeous! It's too bad about the loss of bright colors, but subtle is great too. I love the shapes and edges in the silver - very Thai

This is one of your best pieces yet!

Very exotic I didn't even notice the enamel until you mentioned it, but its a very pretty color I dunno what it would look like with the bright color it's supposed to be, but I think this one would look better

I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
