She wanted me to create a bone pendant for her, but she didn't want a hook or tiki. She really enjoyed my squid and blue whale pieces and requested that I make something similar. I must be a glutton for punishment because I decided to make her a sea horse. Never volunteer to do something when you know nothing about the subject matter! I just finished this tonight, missed her birthday by THAT much. Sea horse, roughly 2"x.75" Luckily for me sea horses come in all shapes and sizes, and that allowed me a bit of artistic license. I wish I didn't have to give it to her right away, I think this could have been a resin contender.
