Cast bronze falcon talons. My friend found a dead falcon in his driveway and cut off its feet and gave them to me (creepy) but helpful for this idea. I made a rubber mold with a vulcanizer and have been injecting waxes into the mold since! I love the transformative nature of casting, it's like being a magician with a wand that can turn anything into metal!

One of a kind design inspired by the human skeleton. I love forging copper, and fabricated structural forms like the rib cage. This necklace was made in my studio in Cortona Italy when I was studying abroad in the summer of 2012.
