This is my very first custom, commissioned piece of jewelry. It was created as a truly unique anniversary gift. The individual for whom it was created has an affinity for satyrs, and so she requested that I create a Faery Mask of a female satyr. We discussed color schemes, and decided on a palette primarily of yellow-greens and olive-greens with some pale yellows and dark reds as accent colors. After her approval of some preliminary sketches, I began to sculpt the mask itself. This mask in particular proved to be much more challenging than previous ones. There are actually wire armatures within the horns and both of the ears to lend additional support to those portions.

measurements • adjustable necklace is approximately 17.5"-19.5" in length with handmade clasp • the mask itself, not including the beaded adornments, is approximately 2" wide by 1.25" in length at its greatest points

materials • hand-sculpted and hand-painted polymer clay Faery Mask pendant; freshwater pearls; genuine garnet beads; swarovski crystal beads; glass beads; ribbon; copper wire; copper leaf charms

More of my jewelry can be seen at Phee Adornments.

Thank you :) I'm fond of it myself. I really do hope she loves it (she is a fellow deviant, so she'll get a sneak preview of it here!).

Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born.
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to endless night.
We are led to believe a lie
When we see not through the eye
