Alpha Earrings -- Dendritic Opal
Last October, at elk camp, Robbie and I were sleeping and the fire in the stove had gone out and the tipi walls were rustling in the night wind and the tip of my nose was cold and I was exhausted but awake and a wolf pack started up. All around the meadow we were camped in I heard their voices ring out against the starshine. It was beautiful music but the horses were going berserkers on the highline and before we unzipped our sleeping bags and crawled out of our tipi to go and check on our beasts of burden and all our knots, I thought to myself, "I need a little wolf to hang around my neck..."
Well time has passed and I've made plenty of little wolf necklaces so I've branched out into wolf earrings. I love this motif and find it creeping into so much of my work lately.

Two carefully constructed wolves, hand textured so they look...FURRY...paired with wintery cuts of dendritic opal. Plenty of grace and grit here.
Length: About 3.25 inches with lots of nice movement.
See deep, hear far, run fast, keep your pack in order.
