One of the first designs that I carved was a flying heart. It was very popular. I had it as a link with holes on either side of the wings and one hole at the tip of the heart for a dangle. I wanted to clean it up a bit and change the proportions to fit within a circular pendant, instead of an elongated oval. I thought that this would give it more versatility
So, I re-carved the mold and created this little flying heart. I think it works. The wings are stylized and not crazy detailed, but still read as wings. The heart is a little crisper as well.
If I press this design out in bronze clay and fire it, the flat of the heart would make an excellent place to stamp letters. I'm pleased with how it turned out!
