DOG TAGS
Early in my journey toward becoming an artist I acquired the skill of calligraphy. I learned to create and appreciate a simple line, a simple curve and their not so simple relationships in the creation of "beautiful writing". Years later I realized that I used that well developed sense of line and form in my jewelry designs. I have always tried to execute complete and graceful curves in my pieces.
I developed this series of "Dog Tags" to feature Chinese calligraphy with its beautiful and pictorial brush strokes. The English meaning of the character is on the other side of the pendant.

For the first dog tag I actually carved the Chinese character right into the heavy sterling. I carved the final designs in wax and cast them. Each one features a heavy jump ring style bail. I like wearing this pendant on a longer chain as a casual but meaningful accessory that goes with everything.
