' Local jewellers, designers and artisans were challenged to create
a series of men's pendants to retail under $250.

The 'Enhancement' group exhibition opening takes place in-store at Lord Coconut.
As participating jewellers will be in attendance, the opening is a great opportunity to discuss the finished pendants, their inspirations and the jewellery-making techniques with the exhibitors themselves.'

My first art pendant is in this show. Intrigued? Then you'd better check it out!

The Dark Knight

 

The Dark Knight

31mm x 48mm  x 4.5mm

ink, wax on beef bone

Inspired by the classic Batman symbol inside an ellipse, and movie title, 

this piece realistically depicts a grey-headed fruit bat. 

To loosely paraphrase a well known quote from the Batman film: 

it's the animal that isn't wanted by some vocal townsfolk and farmers but 

it is the animal needed to pollinate our native flora, regenerating the forest.
