Pendant of torchworked borosilicate derived of imagination and practice

Description

Philosophers stone, as a touchable boro glass Pendant*

Touch pieces. a theme is emerging, if one or more speaks to you I am happy for that connection. This is an Alchemist or touch piece, along with a lifetime of Sci-Fi influence showing through
It is very solid and annealed with no sharp edges. The loop for hanging robust and thick, well incorporated into the design

Torch sculpted, by hand, Borosilicate crystal figures* Some I've done many times. Still each is unique onto itself as only a hand made figure can be. Each figure has a tiny diamond scratched insignia (wmc-08) larger one o f's are in addition numbered. Pictures are available to preview often to show a variety and ideas in sizing coloration etc. Listing is for the actual Gallery photo item.

Figure is approx 1"x 2 black base is 3x5 (not included) attached to a rounded 22' quality leather thong (without minus $4)

I have some interest in the Metaphysical, especially Alchemy, here is a little token of my interpreting history and imagination in that area. I spent much time searching within for a special form. It need be organic, representing something in life tho perhaps not from here. The form is revealed! It must as a tiki, possess lines which beckon touch as well as visual captivity. The back is elliptical,flat, and fire polished. Meant to be handled, stroked and contemplated upon for? Why should glass always be thought of as fragile and breakable.

Done by an experienced flamework artist each is an individualized sculpture, please see links

Created using a vintage '70's Fisher Multifllame from colored coe 33 boro glass

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
*The philosopher's stone (Latin: lapis philosophorum; Greek: chrysopoeia) is a legendary substance, supposedly capable of turning inexpensive metals into gold; it was also sometimes believed to be an elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and possibly for achieving immortality. For a long time, it was the most sought-after goal in Western alchemy. In the view of spiritual alchemy, making the philosopher's stone would bring enlightenment upon the maker and conclude the Great Work continually adding to collection, pictures available on request, please bookmark and visit often. thanks, WMc-08
