This brooch captures a black skimmer in motion, its wings stretched low as if gliding just above the water�s surface. The composition emphasizes direction and speed, with clean lines that reflect the bird�s relationship to wind, water, and shoreline. The latter is mimiced by a Chalcedony Concho Druzy. The Black Skimmer is carved of Warthog tusk, with permanent ink coloring. The final little element is a small crab image cut on the reverse of the piece. It is a moment of flight rendered with energy and focus.
