Laurie's Bits

Picture
Ref: Pdt 036
Long odds-and-sods pendant.

A one-off piece.  Hallmarked
Given away as a prize

You can puzzle all you like, but I don't know what the shapes are any more than you, but they do seem to have a form.  Is there some sort of pterodactyl there?  A whale?  Maybe there's an aardvark?

Actually, I do know exactly what the shapes are.  They are bits left over after I cut out the letters for the desk sets that I made.  Does that explain the name as well?

I get odd shaped off-cuts of silver all the time, but there seems to be some particularly interesting ones this time so I had a little play.  The almost-regular shapes seemed right to form a background, some careful soldering and some hammer-point texturing and there you are.

It's quite long - about 80mm - but still just below hallmarking weight, but I had it marked anyway.

Anyone think the top one reminds them of Piglet?  No?  Just me, then.
