Week Eleven!

This week's project is very much a direct follow up to Week Four's project.  I don't get to do too much rendering these days, so to stay in practice, I've been doing the Your Turn challenges in Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist.

My mother got me a subscription to the magazine for Christmas and I've been enjoying it a lot.  It's much more technical and focused than my other favorites (Metalsmith and American Craft) and it provides more in depth information on topics all at once.  For example, a recent issue did an article and a project on Chinese Writing Stones, and the last issue had a section on Plume Agate.

Anyway, one of the projects they one this week had a challenge based on it.  Here's one of the designs I worked up to riff on it.
