Necklace in progress

The above is the necklace that II am working on for the ArtsWorcester exhibit Call and Response. I am very excited about this. The necklace is going to be amazing. There are going to be three sterling silver hollow forms and one cooper hollow form. The top two will have a cut out to look as if it has been ripped open, with granulation under it. Everything will be giving a high polish. When I started thinking about the inspiration pieces and of Africa as a whole I was most inspired of the place as a whole and how it is a place torn apart. I can not wait to share the completed piece and have it in the exhibition.
