Shelly - Lost Souls

in
“People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can’t rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right”
— James O’Barr, The Crow

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.

An Enchanted Wedding Gift

in
 

Last month I had the privilege to serve as a maid of honour at my friends’ Yuxi and Ben’s wedding in Hefei, China. I wanted to make something very special for the couple, because they’re very special people to me. So I made them this wedding portrait in porcelain and bronze to signify their bond to each other, and to Enchanted Doll.My friends, I wish you an everlasting love!
