“Finger Pointing” is a brooch that converts into a pendant. The material is sterling silver, carved in clay and in wax, with chasing and fabrication. The subject refers to how easy it is to point a finger at at a person as a cause for some problem. The practice is timeless, and I used very realistic sculpting to convey the thought.
