    Here is my latest silver print.

    Skelpod here.

    I think it is a "love-it" or "hate-it" kind of design. So far, most people I showed it to in person seemed to like it.

    Also, I can't make my mind up whether it looks better vertical or horizontal.

    What do you think?

    I actually found myself admiring this earlier today, it's beautiful!! I definitely prefer it in the vertical orientation but it's dynamic either way.

    Thanks Paul, and Ana for the Friday finds.

    Fixed the broken link.

    Ana, it's a pendant but also a sculpture.

    If you mean, "what does it represent?" I am waiting to see if any one can guess before I say. It is not as obvious as my previous work.

    I'm gonna take a couple of guesses...
    1. Union of marriage or family bonds.
    2. A couple of ants that had a head-on collision, lost their legs and were fossilized in some strange metal.

    ;)

    The name of the item agrees with my first thought. I thought it looked like a peanut so I'm guessing skelpod means the skeleton of a pod

    It's a Terminator Mr. Peanut! :laughing:

    The look is organic, but very controlled and deliberate. It reminds me of a butterfly in its pupa stage, especially in the vertical orientation. Nice work!

    Great guesses so far. In a couple days I will give an explanation of exactly what it is. For now, I am enjoying other people's guesses. :)

    Thanks for the compliments on it everyone!

    Love it! :)

    No idea what to make of it though, so very curious as to what it is!
