Perhaps creating something is nothing but an act of profound remembrance. - RM Rilke
This piece is an experiment in Sand Casting, Polymer Clay, and textures from an antique coat button and a seashell from Hawaii. Each piece is different, sculpted first with relief prints from the button and the shell, then molded in sand, and cast from scrap in my studio. This silver is in-house recycled and reclaimed from all my previous bad ideas, scrap piles, and melted projects gone awry. It was cathartic to melt these into a Hawaiian motif, if not even a little poetic. Let bygones be bygones, light the rest on fire. Onward!
Necklace is strung on antique African beads in the most awesome dusty Violet Purple! This necklace measures 24" long with lobster clasp. My signature is hammered into the back of the pendant, which weighs just around a half ounce of silver! Pendant measures 1 1/4" wide, 1" from bail top to base of pendant.
OOAK for June 2025. An ode to Hawaiian life, in the best textures I could muster!
