Shibuishi pendant

Shibuishi is a traditional Japanese alloy, 75% copped and 25% silver.

I alloyed a piece, rolled it to 1.5mm then cut this shape out.



Forming it with hammer and stake




And soldering the back tail into a pendant loop




Now it is ready for some carving. I often go down a hill headed toward the sea after work, sometimes when the timing is right I get an amazing view of the moon rise. The shimmering on the water. No picture from my small camera can capture it properly. I'm thinking this will be the theme for this piece.
