Inspired by a Facebook comment, Larkin created this dragon tail wrap! Larkin cut the distinctive moss agate cabochon from a slab gifted by a friend. The stone is partly transparent when back-lit, so Larkin kept the back simple to let the light shine through unhindered.
The inside of the frame and circlet holding it in place on back are argentium silver, and the spines and tail end are copper. Larkin hand-shaped the tail from sheet metal and fused it in place. The main join on the body of the wrap is also fused so the stone can sit flush against the wires. Measures 6.6 cm long and 4.2 cm at its widest point.
This piece will make its debut at the Royaboya Handmade Bazaar this Friday! Tune in there for this and the story of how the evolution of Idle Talons would not have been possible without books!
