Artist's Comments

I really love this one. I started with the curl at the top, and got rather upset when I couldn't figure out how to coax my preconcieved shape out of the stone. After much thought and fiddling though I persuaded it into what's now probably my favourite pendant to date. It's a bit pinker than shows on my screen, but this is a laptop so who knows :)
Sorry about the cliche'd bit of cloth, but it looked far better than without :)
If I can persuade myself to part with it, this will be among those for sale when I relaunch my site [currently going rather slowly] in a short while.

Wow. What a gorgeous shape! I love the softness of this, plus I'd imagine it's very durable. What kind of chain do you think you'd pair with it? I may buy one.

Cloth is a cliche'? I didn't know that.

I love the organic shapes you come up with - I don't usually care for pink, but this is lovely. It looks like it would feel good in your hand.

Actually, orcas aren't quite as complex as scientists imagine. Most killer whales are just four tons of doofus dressed up like a police car.

Ooh, it does! I spend so much time fussing over the curves :P I'm not that keen on pink either, but the stone is so gorgeous you can't hold its colour against it ;) Thanks so much for letting me know I'm succeeding! :P

Thankyou! Alas they're not terribly durable - it's so soft that you can leave small scratches with a fingernail, though the oil from your skin makes them invisible. I don't have any chains, and I'm afraid that they'd just wear through the pendant. Perhaps fixing some kind of lining into the hole the chain runs through would solve the problem - I'll have a think about it. I currently sell them with black cotton cord or black suede, though I'm going to look into different ribbons and suchlike. I'm moving at the moment, but when I get my shop going again I'll announce it with great fanfare :) Cheers for the comment :)

Well if I had one I'd probably pair it with a satin ribbon. I imagine it would look nice and would be very gentle on the stone.

There's something so nice about the word 'satin'... I think it's probably because I've been wrestling with wire all day, the thought of ribbons is a great contrast :)

Really nice work! Love the curves in it and the curl adds just the right touch at the top. Keep up the great work.
