jesse_the_k: harbor seal's head captioned "seal of approval" (Approval)

After three years of drooling, I treated myself to one of Torontonian Catherine Crowe's fabulous enameled jewelry pieces. You can spend many a happy hour admiring her artistic variety at her Imago Corvi site. As befits a WisCon Art Show Artist, her work is closely tied to mythology and stories.

This is the piece I decided on, the "Spirit Selkie." Out of the water, they're wobbly; they don't look particularly well-suited to their environment. In the water, however, they move beautifully and skillfully. manatee

Oh, that's beautiful. I love how the colors match--how the beads are black and silver, and then how the image is the same.

Gorgeous piece! Glad you went ahead and bought it. I keep meaning to order something from Grady Smith, but keep putting it off. :)
