I have the opportunity to create a new golden pendant.
I don't
know yet which materials I'll chose (white or yellow gold, stones,
glass, etc.). For the moment, I'm working on a possible design. Of
course, it will be a phoenix.
So here is what I did this night while I couldn't sleep.
(WARNING: huge picture spam xD)
1) It's my favorite. It's fire wings would be all cut off, with a
lot of tiny empty spaces, very Art Nouveau. The phoenix body could be
filled either with little glass gems or with a plain moon stone. The
feathers reminding of peacock's would be decorated with stones too.
2) A phoenix holding a heart. The heart will probably be a moon stone and the phoenix in 3D
3)
It's a empty circle crossed by the flying phoenix. This one would be
plenty smooth gold, with only three stones (one on each feather of the
tail).
4) This phoenix is supposed to design a "9". It would
have been whole in gold in 3D, but I won't realise this one as I don't
like it much.
5) Is a phoenix holding a stone (probably a moon
stone). Maybe if I work a bit more on it's tail and face it could make
it... I need more details, I want it to be more real.
6) A
feather, with a lot of empty cut off spaces. It's inspired by a peacock
feather but the to (which is on the bottom) turns into flames (with
empty cut off spaces too).
7) Very fragile and thin, the body
would be filled with one plain stone while the feathers tips would be
made of tiny collored glass gems.
8) Art Nouveau again. With
only two stones, I guess they may be the same and may probably be made
of glass (here th moon stone wouldn't fit, it would make the design to
massive).
9) First supposed to be a brooch, then a tattoo
design, finally it ends as a pendant project xD Full of empty cut off
spaces again (Art Nouveau style again). There are fiew gems: one that
would feel the body (crystal or glass gem), 2 pearls or the feather
inside the circle, one on the tail and one final gem on the tip of the
tail.
10) 3D purelly fire bird, not of gold but metal and
completly filled with little red glass gems (this design comes from
Final Fantasy)
And there are probably more to come... I will keep on drawing since I make up my mind. But for the moment, those I like the most are 1, 8 and 9.
