This is a life sized cast of an American Crow skull. It measures 3 inches (7 and a half) cm long.
I cast it in metal and then antique silver plate it. This piece comes with the clasp pictured on a 24 inch chain.
This piece is a big one. The chain passes through at the base of the skull.
I also have this piece is jet black gun metal, 18k gold plate, and oxidized flat black.
It is really exciting to be getting some international press interested in my work. I feel like I skipped a step and went right into a European high gloss fashion magazine.
Here is a link to that shoot : http://www.fashionising.com/pictures/p--Tanya-Dziahileva-Flair-Italy-September-2010-7730-112722.html
Last week at a not so glamorous bbq in Brooklyn one very famous underground pop star and a well known designer also agreed to be in an upcoming shoot. Ah, the power of spiced chicken rub.
