“There is the mud, and there is the lotus that grows out of the mud. We need the mud in order to make the lotus.” – Thich Nhat Hanh

Using a jeweler’s saw, I hand cut the Lotus flower from Argenitum Silver sheet, file it, and then hammer texture, which also makes the silver hard.  The lotus is suspended on a sterling silver box chain that is  18” long.

See photos for size.

(oops!  Can you believe I put the necklace on backwards in this photo?  Yes I stamp my work.)
