Melissa Muir - Week 8

PinfrontThis is a pin. I have only ever made one other pin and I am starting to like them a bit. This is made with a dichroic cab that was given to me by one of my students. This piece is so large. I don't know the exact measurements, but the top of the stone is at least 1 1/2" if not two and about 2 - 2 1/2" long.

I decided to design the piece around what was going on in the stone itself and I am very happy with how it turned out. You can see a picture of the back of the pendant on my Design Journal.

Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I truly love the way your design seems to extend what is going in inside the cab. Really, really nice. Artful and playful, and beautifully executed.

This pin is fun and funky with lots of great artistic flow. Your work just keeps getting better!
