Gem in the Woods

Garnet, Beach wood, Natal Mahogany, Sterling Silver

'Gem in the Woods'

She grew, a heartbeat,
the vein of the tree
- lifeblood.

This one made me cross. I set the wood in slightly skew. That's the thing with basic geometry and simple shapes. You have to get it exactly right or its all wrong!

The frame above the finger allows for a bolder surface area, more impact. I set the garnet off to the side because it breaks the symmetry of the design (I had hoped to draw attention away from the fact that the wood is skew, alas..)
