Versatility of bone and horn

©2019 Barry Smith - Small bone and horn micro sculpture on the rust table - love the individual forms and the slightly worn look of the horn fragments
I made the above small installation-micro sculpture for a good friend of ours in recognition of her many skills, strength and talent. The piece is about strong women - three to be precise - standing strong individually and with each other.

I made the following pendant for a friend who is struggling.

And the earrings are to be given away to a bunch of friends next week.

I think one is fortunate to possess a bit of creative ability - it makes it easier to do random bits of kindness.

  2. This entire post makes me smile. As no doubt, it will for the recipients of your random acts of kindness. It’s so refreshing to read about your thoughtfulness and generosity. Not to mention seeing your beautiful work. All of the horn pieces are lovely- the sculpture, the hearts from previous post and these earrings-wow! And the 7 stars! Thanks for sharing.
