Studio Helper

I had a little helper with me in the studio today.  Well, he really didn't help, but he sure was cute--all curled up and nestled in his box. 

While Tiger caught up on his sleep, I worked on this pendant.  It's reticulated silver that I cut in 2 and added a long sterling silver wire squiggle and balls.  A rose cut, tourmalinated quartz is bezeled in fine silver at the bottom.  The pendant is suspended from a sterling silver rolo chain. 

I like the movement flowing through the piece--it moves your eye from the top, through the body of the pendant and then around the stone and back up again. 

I'm pushing through the dreary January blues and doing what I know.  I'm hoping a surge of creativity will emerge soon!
