Description
Cast pewter pendant from a hand-carved wax. The US quarter is there for scale, it's about 1.25" wide.

Brigid's cross pendant that I made for Imbolc. On one side, Brigid's cross within a blossom of flames, surrounded by a circle and archways at the four quarters. On the other side, a triskelion of wings rising on spiral clouds. The resemblance of the outer wheel to a Zia sun symbol is coincidence, but now that I've noticed it, I like it.

My muse for this piece was the Irish Goddess Brigid (obviously), and the chant by Sharon Knight on the CD she made with T. Thorn Coyle, "Songs for the Strengthening Sun":

"Hail Brigid of the triple face
Whose voice does rise on the lilt of grace
Whose blossoms beautiful ever bloom
On the wings of poetry's sweet perfume."

---

This is the first cast piece I've ever made. I'm absurdly proud.

There are a couple of woobles that happened in the casting that weren't there in the wax. Not sure if it's a problem with the mold or just "pewter is weird like that and sometimes needs cleanup".

---

We will probably make these pendants available for purchase later this year. I'll update here when there's a link or more information.

But this first one is mine.
