The chains move with every movement one makes and this for me is the highlight of it,also the water is meant to be pouring from the chain in the neck into it (am weird I know
)
This took a fair bit of work but I’m very proud it’s exactly as I had it pictured in my head and it was born out of a sphere,( In school we had to make a piece based on a sphere), and well if you cut a sphere in 4 you pretty much get these little pots..
I’m so so happy with it and I’m so happy I can share the completed pictures of it, it’s a great feeling to finish things..
I have some sketches of variations of this piece, I want to make earrings and maybe one that is not as elaborate something more simple for people that like more minimal things.
The funny thing is that one thing leads to the other.. All started with water theme.. after making the fountain I’m looking into more ideas of developing this idea in different manners.. and I found this site which features all these beautiful water fountains..
Wouldn’t something like this make a great pendant?

That is incredibly beautiful, clever and a great conversation starter…is it awkward to wear?

Ty Jonny… it’s not awkward to wear at all , in the last pictures you can see 2 lil bars that’s for the piece to sit flat in the chest, what moves a lot is the little chains but that is part of the design for the ” water” to move.. but as a girl told me the only thing is you want to watch it while you walk and if you do you might trip and fall ..

I guess I’m such a clutz that I was thinking about bending over and catching it on something then falling on my face…
You are an artist without a doubt. I have some friends who would be interested in seeing this, so I’ll send them your way.
