Custom Brave Wisp Necklace
I was inspired by the concept art for the wisps that I found in the Art of Brave book (which I highly recommend picking up if you haven't already), and created this necklace! It's made of sterling silver, with crystals for the eyes (no idea what brand as I salvaged them from a broken pair of earrings). I created it using lost wax casting, and a liver of sulfur patina (which I mostly polished off, but was effective in highlighting the texture of the piece). I did not make the chain.
Unfortunately my camera isn't so great at taking pictures of small items, so this image is the best I can do.
As you can see, I modified the concept art slightly- I thought the original piece looked a little alien, and I wanted mine to be cuter and more plant-like. It's by no means perfect- this was my first attempt at a wisp. Next, I think I'm going to try recreating this in blue clay- sort of a hybrid between the concept art and final movie version of the wisp.
Any constructive criticism would be appreciated (as would any suggests for further Disney-inspired art projects)
