I especially like the top of the two tri-spirals.

very nice, i'm always surprised by how interesting you can make simple designs look :D
:iconnaomii-kuroinekoko:
Simple, but still really nice. Where do you get the ivory from?

Thank you. :)

I get the ivory mostly from the same local store as many of the skulls and horns; The Bone Room: [link]

I'm drawn to this style anyway (I've got your channeled stone pendant), and the bottom two are just gorgeous. I love the ancient feel to them, as though the walrus ivory wasn't fossilized plain, but fossilized just this way and you found it (ancient shaman's pendant?). Very cool.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

These wouldn't happen to be for sale would they?

These are all stunning, but something about the second one is especially soothing. As usual, Amazing Work!

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
:icondonsimpson:
The proportions came out particularly well on that one, and the material was very mineralized, which gave it a nice translucency.
:icondonsimpson:
That's a beautiful idea, beautifully put. I'm going to have to check out your writing.
:icondonsimpson:
Thank you. :)

In a simple design, every subtle aspect of each element is important, so I try hard to keep them in balance.
