A present for my mum

[squishy]

Hi Guys,

Its my mums birthday tomorrow and I thought I'd make her something. I've made a couple of things from silver clay before, just simple pendants, but I thought I'd have a go at something a little more complex.. just because

This is my take on a dragonfly. It has a red CZ in the body and the wings are textured with a leaf skeleton. I had a few issues polishing it as I didn't want to risk losing the texture and damaging the stone by putting it in my tumbler.. but I kinda like the "distressed" look I just hope she likes it!

How could she not like that! It's a very beautiful thing indeed; I especially like the way it's hung offset like that; great stuff there, Rachael

Thanks everyone I was getting a bit worried about it on several occasions, especially when sticking the wings on and firing it!
