Waiting for Godot. er.. garnets.
Nearly finished 2 more pieces. The one on the left is going to be called “templar amulet”. I’ve got some ruby spheres coming and will place one in the back cavity of the dome, so that the red shows through like a templar cross. I’ll also put some garnets in the “portholes” and top toggle.
Ordered some big open link silver chain yesterday, and I’m curious how it is going to look on the a piece. I’ve also ordered some jump links to use on this one and on the other dome I have created. They are more of a rounded triangle shape, I think they were originally made for hanging briolettes from?
I haven’t really thought all that much about findings, but now I’m getting some finished pieces, I really want to make sure that I get just the right chains or cord to really set the pieces off.
The pendant on the right is my first attempt at a celtic look. I have a friend who is part of the SCA (medieval reenactment society) who wants a celtic cross. I’m building up to that. If I want to make it a hollow shape, I’m going to have to make my own formwork out of sculpy or something to make the rim around. Another technique to add to the arsenal. It’s all good stuff!
