This is a wax sculpture of a new Doll shadow box I’m currently making. It’s based on a well-known fairy tale character. Can you guess which one based on the ornamentation? Here’s a hint - she is a villain.

Cleaning and preparing the Silver Vertebrae Pendant
The free flowing pendant has 16 vertebrae and 15 joints. It’s always dancing while I’m wearing it or when I can’t stop playing with it. In the video it goes through a patina process and then cleaned in a magnetic tumbler and then a rotary tumbler to give it that nice shine. The pendants are available in Silver and in Bronze
Now Available - Vertebrae Pendant
Hey guys, at last I am able to take orders for the lovely Vertebrae Pendant! The pendant is available in the Enchanted Doll Store. The Sterling Silver pendant is $1700 USD.
I first posted about this pendant back in 2015, but it wasn't until now that I was taking orders.
Details from the original post:
The pendant is manufactured from original feline vertebrae and cast in Sterling Silver. This is a very sensual piece of jewellery because it’s free-moving. There are 15 joints connecting 16 vertebrae, which makes it very bendable. I’m always playing with it. Stroking it brings an odd comforting sensation that helps me concentrate, kind of like moving a rosary between ones fingers. Or like petting a cat.
I’ve used these bone molds before in a couple of my doll projects, such as the Beetle and the Crow, but this jointing system is more advanced and realistic than my previous attempts. It gives a better range of movement while maintaining perfect alignment. And, to smoothly transition from the pendant to the chain, sculpted a double-bail at the top of the biggest vertebrae in the shape of human pelvis.
