Class project for December--just when the real ones come onto the market!
Polymer clay and acrylic paint, glass
I've been away at a metal smithing workshop taught by Kat Cole learning to enamel on steel and copper surfaces. Here are a couple of my uncleaned, unfinished pieces that will soon become brooches/pendants.
They are on top of a photo taken from my rainy windshield driving to the class.

An Eiffel Tower pendant set on a clear acrylic surface with a textured background, taken for the Flickr Friday theme, "Arches." The pendant is 1.75-inches tall.
Strobist/technical info:
The pendant was placed on a clear sheet of acrylic with an aluminum foil background light painted blue as a backdrop. The scene was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights placed 90° CL/CR two-feet away and 16-inches above the subject. The speedlights were fired in Manual mode @ ¼ power through two Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes. The Blue LED of a Coast TX10 Quad Color flashlight was used to light paint the background over a 1 s exposure.
The SB900's were triggered by three PockerWizard Plus X's.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro).

Symbolizing the heart's intention which can be confusing and convoluted at times, the ball of twisted wire is on a neverending quest to reach the stars where its ultimate dreams can be found. It is a soulful journey where it encounters, absorbs, and consumes all of life''s perceived roadblocks and obstacles. As it grows and experiences are accumulated along the way, the path laid out before it becomes clear and the road to happiness is paved with nothing but shooting stars which are easily captured and placed close to the heart. It is at this point when dreams are fulfilled.
Funny...but when I started photographing this piece....I realized it looked more like some bizarro creature than a confused ball of wire searching for its dreams when shot at certain angles! HAHAAA!!
The Atlantic Pendant [IMO 9223899/MMSI 209250000] which was built in 2003 is a A Class general cargo ship with a 12,993 gross tonnage capacity. She is Cyprus flagged and managed out of Cyprus by Mastermind Ship Management Ltd and hence is part of the Mastermind fleet. Her beneficial owner is Mastermind Ship Management Ltd of Cyprus.
I photographed the Atlantic Pendant alongside No. 3 Kwinana Bulk Berth on January 7, 2015. Due to having to shoot from the beach, I was only able to get a fragment of her. Once she is completed loading/unloading at Kwinana her next port of call was Newcastle, Australia.
I have had a few requests to see some of my pendants up close. So I had to borrow my niece's camera to get the shot. These are just a few of my newest ones.

design Yki Nummi
Artist, designer (1925-1984)
Yki Nummi is considered one of the most remarkable Scandinavian designers who worked between the 1950s and the 1970s. He worked as lighting designer for the Finnish Stockmann-Orno luminaire factory from 1950 to 1975 and designed hundreds of light fixtures during this period. Nummi’s best-known luminaires are the Modern Art table lamp and the Lokki pendant lamp, also known as “The Flying Saucer”. Nummi first studied mathematics and physics at university after World War Two. Afterward, he took a degree in decorative painting at the Institute of Applied Arts in Helsinki in 1950. Based on his education, Nummi had a firm theoretical foundation, especially in the relationship of light and colour.
Nummi was a pioneer in his field particularly when it came to designing acrylic lamps. As a new material at the beginning of the 20th century, acrylic brought countless new possibilities to the design of lamps. In fact, Nummi used plastic quite without preconceptions. In his view, the interesting features of acrylic were its moulding capability, homogeneous nature and a better impact strength than that of glass. In addition to designing lighting, Nummi was an expert in colour schemes and design. Between 1958 and 1975, Nummi worked at Schildt & Hallberg’s Tikkurila paint factory as head of the factory’s design and planning department and participated in R & D for the new paint mixing system that produced innovative colour charts. Yki Nummi participated in a large number of exhibitions and trade fairs. He was awarded gold medals for his works at the Milan Triennials of 1954 and 1957.
Nummi summarised his vision by saying ”People don’t buy lamps, they buy light”.
The elegant Innolux Lokki is a pioneer among light fixtures made of plastic and is one of the best-known Finnish design classics. The design is innovative and timeless. The name Lokki comes from the Finnish word for seagull, which soar in the high, clear sky while the sun shines down. The Lokki pendant lamp light features are outstanding. It provides both indirect and direct light and is non-glaring, because the light source itself does not shine directly into your eyes from any angle. Innolux Lokki is made in Finland. The pendant lamp is available in two diameters: 700 mm and 500 mm. The Lokki suspension series is also available with wires measuring 3, 4 and 6 meters.
If you have notice that there is a Chinese character 水 at the top of the pendant. Antique effects (two tone of blue and green) on the pendant are done intentionally. My design of this pendant signifies "Water" as in Wealth. Swarovski rhinestones and pearl are embeded on the petals and base. Base is frosted white.
