The verdict seems to be "elegant", which I guess is because this is a hybrid of my regular jewellery (which is still very much Pacific influenced) and where I'm at now. I actually had that argillite breastplate and the pearl shell blank sitting around for over a year. I'll have to look through the rest of my unfinished projects and parts boxes to see what else I can resurrect through the power of tiki! :tiki: :tiki: :tiki: Back in the studio, I seem to be stuck in the Marquesan groove. I'm not too sure why, but it seems to be what comes out when I pick up a pen and a stone these days. I've got another one underway now (will save the pics for the swap thread), and I also got the necklace done for #36:
