I think my Chicken and Egg pendant was destined for greatness. I named her Optimist after all. She was a few years in the making as I described in an earlier post. She'll always be one of my favorite pendants of all time.

I have the editor of Belle Armoire Jewelry and my husband to thank for the honor this time.

In this case the chicken! As a lifelong creator and learner I've taken quite a few workshops in my life. I like to experiment and try new things. The older I get the more time I have to do so and the greater benefit to my brain and art I think. Years ago I took a class on electroforming and promptly came home and took some small plastic chickens and gave them a coating of copper. Then they found themselves in a jar since I had no idea what I was going to do with them, but they made me smile every time they caught my eye.
