Mariah Wheeler "Owl" 10-31-12

"Owl"
Mariah Wheeler
Fine Silver, Quartz Crystal with Aqua Aura and Cubic Zircona

          This Owl is one of the Endangered Species collection I once thought would entice me to make many more images of such species.  Through the years I've made a few pieces, but never have made enough for a real collection.  Owl is a very dramatic piece with piercing eyes as if she knows her species of owl is endangered and wants you to do something about it.  She hangs from what was once a maple twig and upon a piece of pine bark, both of which have been turned into 99% pure silver through the magic of the kiln and Precious Metal Clay.  Adding to the magic of the piece is the Aqua Aura Quartz crystal which is an ordinary quartz crystal with a space-age process of adding of titanium, gold and selenium to its molecular structure.  It shines with an other-worldly rainbow oil-slick glow.                 ~ Mariah Wheeler
