The person this pendant belongs to is a lucky one indeed.
It's perfect in a way only one-of-a-kind items are, and I adore it.
Hah, in all honesty when I saw your ID, I thought you were my favourite writer, sir Terry Pratchett! Silly me.
Wishing you lots of inspiration!

Thank you. I spoke to the owner recently. She says she is getting a plasma cutter for her metal work. I have some (perhaps all) of her PMC art (which I got in exchange for Raveneye), and I've seen a work by her in progress that is amazing...
All us old guys with beards and hats look a lot alike.
And thank you again....

I know this isn't a stock, but I was so breath taken by this pendant that I wanted to try to make a pair of pants that match it. They can be found here: [link]
I haven't actually physically made them and will not make any profit off of them at any point. If you object to them in any way shape or form I will remove this deviation from my gallery, no questions asked.

I gather you plan to hand-make this, and it will be just one pair, and you're giving credit. I have no objections, and would like to see the result. Have fun.

I am hand making it, thanks for your blessing. It will only be one pair, yes. They won't be done until later in the summer (I don't have time because of University

That is really breathtaking.
Is this piece for sale? If so, how much?
I know that art from an experienced hand can cost a few pretty pennies, and that a -really- exquisite piece the artist may not ever want to part with.

Thank you. This piece was long ago traded to another artist. Any available items should be in the Unsold Items folder in my gallery.

I compliment you sir, on your vision (no pun). I look at some of your more organic creations and wish that I had created them myself.

Think you could ever do another one similar to this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe. It depends on how "similar" is defined. This was made from a particulrly nice eye, and an excellent piece of wood, and I'd have to hunt down the materials. but I think you probably want something that looks as good as this does, and that depands on very subtile things that sometimes work out and sometimes don't, so there could be no guarantee. I do wish, sometimes, that I had a matter duplicator,

I understand. I wouldnt want to put you out with possible fruitless actions, you know?
I suppose if it happens to happen, then so be it!

If I do make something like that, I'll post it in my gallery here.

[man, i could have sworn it was a bookmark from the thumbnail]
you carved this?!...that is insane! gorgeous!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, from the straight-on shot, it's not obvious how thick it is (about 3/8 inch). Yes, I carved it; glad you like it.

Awesome work. Good composition and choice of colours on the pendant. I imagine if you were wearing something like this late at night it might be rather alarming though.

Wow! How cool! I absolutely love the idea of using a taxidermist's eye! It's so original!
I just used a bunch of exclamation marks...!
