Default Poppy in shakudo, gold & copper

Here’s another in the series of this shape of pendant. This one is a Poppy design in 4% Baldwin shakudo(96%copper/4%gold), copper and 22k gold with 18k bezel, cable and bale. The smaller photo shows about life size (35mm) in my browser. The gold and shakudo are joined with 18k hard solder. The copper is inlaid.

Hello Jim,

thanks again for showing, really nice work. I've been on your page again and I must admit, I saw your journal for the first time, even though I've been quite sometimes on your page already, very interesting (subscribed straight away:-)!
Thanks for showing your work and telling so much about it, extremly inspirational.
And it always seems like you can touch the atmosphere around what you do.

Best,
Hanne

Thanks guys for the comments. Very much appreciated.

Hanne, I'm glad you enjoyed the journal.

For others who haven't seen my journal, sometimes I feature artists, mostly Japanese, mostly from the past, mostly metal arts. The work of Shoami Katsuyoshi is quite extraordinary and you can see some here:

Thanks,

Jim

I am in awe of your ability to convey a sense of depth and deep space in such a limited field. Thank you for sharing this. I find your work inspires me to strive for a higher goal.
