The larger crow skull and wire bail swing back to reveal a smaller ornate skull on a double hinge so it nests inside the larger one. It has a tourmaline cabochon set into its forehead. A bull kelp root ball found on the beach was the genesis of this pendant, one of a series I made with the help of digital technology. It stems from a selected photo of a detailed section of the plant, and then through a long process, using a 3D printer to get a plastic model, and then molds to cast a wax, a final silver piece emerged. The mirrored image evokes the Pareidolia effect and in the way Rorschach Ink Blots inspire subconscious readings, looking at it can reveal interesting things about yourself.
