The bell is copper - then the faux shibuichi technique is applied - which was pretty difficult to do on this 3D form. A matte onyx carved flower functions as the clapper of the bell - so this necklace makes a tinkling noise when it is worn.

First piece of the year...
Just finished the first new piece in this year - still playing with the faux shibuichi and the bells... although this is a smaller version of the bell.

I like the use of the copper and the ivory together. Wearing this would be like having music around your neck.
really pretty!
Renate, I am always so excited to see your newest shapes with this faux technique. They are just beautiful.
It's beautful Renate! I love the fact that it has rythym, and it really looks timeless. Also, very charasmatic!
oh renate, this is gorgeous! i lovelovelove the copper bell! i love even more than it makes a tinkling noise. what a perfect first piece for a new year! xx
Such a lovely serene composition. Soothing colours and lots of shape and texture. Beautiful
Renate this beautiful piece touches the senses on multiple levels: The tinkling sound to soothe the spirit; the aesthetic appeal of the composition - pattern and shape; the visual appeal of varying textures and materials and the tactile appeal of the whole.
Hach, *schmelz*, Deine Glocken, Renate, Deine Glocken, *schmelz*
S/R - beautifully balanced (the found and the formed) start to the creative year. I had to smile when you indicated you were still playing with bells - funny how creativity takes us on paths for a while until it is ready to let us go. I love the rustic and ancient nature of these bells. Go well. B
Oh sorry Renate, i cannot open your photo. Does it come from me ?

Love the bell!
Renate, what a beautifully crafted necklace. The faux shibuichi technique looks like fun to create with and the results are amazing - your bell has such a time-worn look about it. And I love that it jingles!
