Artist's Comments

This is what the locket looks like full opened. Again, sterling silver outer, copper pages, fine silver centerball chain.

The pages say, from front to back, Frustration, Anger, Lonely, Pain, Hate, Self-Destruction. The idea behind the piece is how you present a happy face to the world while holding "negative" emotions inside. Photos of the individual pages can be found in my Scraps area.

Unfortunately, I didn't realize how much of the bottom of the pages would be covered up since I'd never made a mechanism like that before so some of them are hard to see- the Lonely page especially.

This is so fabulous! What size is the locket? -- it's hard to tell scale in the photo.

I have a fascination with metal sculpture with hinges and hidden doors and doodads that swing around and things that go *creak*. :D So, this piece really gets me. I sooo want to pick it up and open the little compartments and flip through the leaves...

I've never really worked in metal (and being an Art That Can Draw Blood, I'm not likely to), so I don't really have the vocabulary to speak intelligently about the technical aspects. But I can certainly give it an "ooh shiny".

OOH! SHINY!
