Another Carl Sagan quote. Unlike the five-point stars, the four-point "compass rose" shape doesn't stay upright on it's own so I got to really play around with the forged copper pieces here, which I used to give this piece some weight. Sometimes necessity is the mother of neat little design tweaks.
I went with a gold-tone font here to compliment the metallic elements of this piece, and carefully charred the edges over the stove. The simple satin red fabric cutout framing it brings out the Paua opal beads in the spacers and on the copper dangles. The overall effect puts me in mind of classic pirate tales and nautical adventure stories.
