Liquid Sunshine

While learning any new medium, there is a learning curve in which I find myself deeply entrenched. Although the outcome of the battle was a good one, much blood, sweat and tears went into the making of this pendant. This, being my first bezel set stone, had multiple things go wrong. And yet, here it is. I hope to encourage all of you who are learning to keep going, keep trudging through the muck and mire of colossal failure because the next time you try, it will somehow come together and you will have captured your own extraordinary expression of beauty. This pendant is made of a Sunstone cabochon that has the brightest flash of color I have ever seen. It was hard to photograph because of all that flash. The bezel is made with precious metal clay that has been hand formed, fired and finished and is signed and stamped .999 pure silver on the back. It measures 2 1/2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide.
