HOW:
A stylized horse built up in loose hand-cut layers
The horse measures 10 x 25mm
On a 60cm sterling silver chain
*Photographed on my own dirty silver chain – because I don’t think tarnish is ugly – but your pendant will come on a sparkly brand new chain
WHY: this whole wiggle animal range started out so simply with the wiggle bear. It seems to expand and just get more layered and intricate as I go along and keep looking for the next challenge. This horse came about when my cousin mentioned her intent to commission a unicorn pendant for her little girl. I did make that unicorn – it was pretty awesome – with a brass horn and mane and tail. My little girl was also a bit obsessed with rainbow unicorns at the time and I must admit the design was influenced by the my little pony juice boxes I get badgered into buying. Something in me still wants to have a horse in the range before we leap to unicorns – it just seems to make sense. Much joy was gained from studying these beautiful creatures when I was drawing for this project. Perhaps the lesson is that you truly don’t need a rainbow unicorn – regular horses are rather magical enough
