Brass chain and pendant with prong set malachite.
Chain is of my own design and has been etched with prints from the hairs of corn.
This etching is emulated in the organic forms adorning the starburst

Mood and image research collaged with texture samples from my process book.  The texture samples were developed from corn and were eventually realized in the etching that adorns the beads and pendant.
