The ABS challenge this month was Calder's mobile, "Blue Feather." I couldn't resist this challenge because the design had a stranglehold on my consciousness. It was compelled to be created.
As you can see, the piece consists of an orange pendant with an off-center hole ... as in the inspiration piece. I have left the lower edge unenameled because of the fragile nature of enamel and it's tendency to chip if used in a high-friction area. The remaining formed rectangles dangle playfully from the chain. This is what I call a toggle necklace ... there is no clasp. The necklace wears as a choker with the chain cascading down to about 5 inches below the bottom of the circle pendant.
This was fun ... and now back to the studio!
