Sometimes, an artist draws inspiration from nature, color, an event, an idea. My inspiration for these pendants came while I was asleep. I keep pad and pen next to my bed, and jot down ideas or sketches when they "come". Such was case for the idea for these pendants with a bit of motion.
I've made two, and have sketches for a couple more.
The hanging section on these necklaces moves forward and back. I had to figure out how to get the piece hanging while ensuring the holder section had clean and matching edges.
I plan to experiment more and to see what happens with the other ideas I've drawn. Reactions and ideas are welcome.
There is something about a piece that has 'motion' that has more life to it. They make me think a little of what I used to call 'doorknocker' earrings, and these have an oriental flavor to them also. Really nice!
