Lapiz Pendant Necklace

The finished necklace
This necklace went painfully slow (really, it’s made of bronze wire) probably because I didn’t have a plan to start with.

The first stage as a "simple" pendant
It was going to be a pendant but kept on going until it grew into a necklace. The whole process consumed a good part of three days, not very time efficient but sometimes my creativity works that way.

It grew these coiled curved tendrils
In any case, I couldn’t stop until I was satisfied with it. It knew what it wanted to be so I just listened and waited, in stages.

The pendant grew a hanger
There is no way I could price this by the hours spent on it but I don’t care about that all the time. I had to obey the wire and let it guide me.
