Throwback Thursday (with Holiday delay...)

[B.K. Henderson-Winnie]

Hello!

I made this little water spirit talisman/netsuke in 2015, "Miss Moisture"

She is made from camel bone, rainbow moonstones salvaged from old jewelry, white moonstones, sterling silver. I remade the silver settings to better fit the stones. The inlay on her back is made from ground turquoise and ground freshwater pearl. The inlay was made with the paste technique I described in a previous post.

1 5/16" x 1 1/8 x 3/8" (3.3cm x 2.8cm x 1.0cm)
