Sculpture - Sterling Silver
Description
The unfortunate donor of this bird foot, a spotted towhee, flew into the freshly cleaned window of my studio about two years ago. Rather then let he demise become a total loss, I salvaged at least a small part of his being to be immortalized in sterling at a later date. Once dried, a fine bail was set into the leg and a mold was made of the claw so that sterling silver copies could be made. The 1-1/2" claw cast beautifully , the toes can be posed and will hold their position as they are not so thin as to be flimsy. The silver has a polished oxidized finish that really highlights the scaly skin texture to the maximum. The claw hangs on an 18" silver plated serpentine chain that suspends the claw beautifully on a wide curved loop.
