Raptors always seemed like the most fun dinosaurs to me, this little guy is all twisted up and curiously looking around like he’s too excited to decide what to do next. 🦖
One thing I love about working in metal is the ability to change and transform older pieces. This claw necklace was fantastic but a little heavy for everyday wear. A few design changes and some work, now it’s a matched set with earrings.
I loved my large elasmosaurus necklace so much! Now that's it's off in its new home I decided to make another one. This version is much smaller, the necklace shorter, the crushed stone... more crushed?
It's always an interesting process to scale anything down. It's challenging and exciting and often frustrating. But I'm quite happy with the final product.
