I've done whale tails before and wasn't planning on doing another, but I found this wonderful stainless steel (I think)component with a cutout of two whales swimming at the curiosity shoppe and couldn't resist. Even though the whale silhouette cutout thingy is meant to be the back of the pendant, there's no reason a person couldn't wear it showing as the front if they wanted making it a two for one pendant. After finishing the painting, I sealed both sides in resin. You'll notice there are some bubbles in the resin. Normally, I would have removed them, but I had the thought that the bubbles were symbolic of the water whales call home so I decided to keep the bubbles. It's suspended from stainless steel chain and blue coral/black bone connectors. The pendant is 1.5 inches wide and just over an inch in height. Thanks for looking! Dawn

Thank you, Michele! You can see why it had to end up a whale pendant; there wasn't really any other choice! Dawn

Thank you bunches, Irith! Water is something I enjoy painting - always find when one likes to do something, they do a better job than if it's not something they like. Dawn
