Necklace made with little flower-ish thingies, that aren't really too flower-ish at all. The big ones are made with rhyolite, black pyrite, and nephritic jade; medium sized ones are moss agate and labradorite; small ones are nephritic jade and black pyrite.
Chainmail segments are... more adventures in byzantine! Gasp! This time, I extended the ends out so they're box chain-ish. Worked in 4mm rings.
The pendant is an antique (ca. 1950, signed Miracle). It features a Viking Age-esque gripping beast motif, surrounded by kelly and olive green enamelling, and faux agate.
Saga is the Norse goddess of history, and poetic arts; she is sometimes taken as another aspect of Frigga, the wife of Odhinn. Saga is mentioned in Grimnismal 7 as having a great halls in Asgard, called Sokkvabekkr ("Sunken Benches"), where "cold waves ripple above; there Odhinn and Saga drink through all days, glad, out of golden cups."
exquisite job ! the chain technique is a great choice for a history inspired piece like this one and I love how you flanked the bail with 2 pearls.. nifty !

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
