As soon as I get home from the
Shop, I brew some coffee and get to work. It has been a flurry of activity lately! My work goes late into night and I find myself sorely lacking sleep, but am happy with the things that are produced.
I created a limited-edition series of
"Floral Moon Pendants". I rolled out porcelain and impressed it with different designs. I then cut the pendants out and let them dry. Once they were dry, I hand-tooled them and then fired them. Once they cooled, I prepared them to be coated in fine silver.
Then the hard work...
finishing them. They're patinated, polished, buffed, waxed, buffed again and polished again. It's a lot of hand-finishing and it reminded me why I don't make more of these style of pendants!
I think the silver looks sharp and definitely gives the pieces a lunar effect. They seem to glow with a celestial coolness. The floral pattern look like craters and accentuates the moon effect.
I only created 16 pendants. Each one is unique and different and I am pretty confident that I won't be making any more. Each one is signed on the back and would be perfect as a focal on a necklace.
Imagine it hanging from a simple silver chain or from a piece of leather, embellished with white pearls. To find out more about the pieces and to get your's,

I love the idea of the silver over the porcelain and what you've done is exceptional, but that sure is a lot of work. With your talent as a colorist I'd love to see you try something to hang like a worry stone. Touchable - but silky. Undertones of color too.
Really - like you need suggestions. LOL
Have a great evening Andrew you know you do beautiful work.
So pretty pendants! Love them!
These are absolutely beautiful. I really appreciate the hard work that you have put into every one. They are even more magical because of it!
