Outside Inspiration: Names Pushing Images

Before I tell you the name of this piece, what would you call it or what does it make you think of? This lovely combination of silver, gold, 22k gold and sterling mokume gane with both precious and semi-precious stones is the work of Joan Tenebaum. Joan is an anthropologist who is heavily influenced by Alaska where she lived for 17 years. Does that help?

So this piece is called High Mountains in Full Moon II. Not that citrine colored moons are all that common, but the inner glow of the stone can be considered in line with the glow of the moon and the mokume looks very much like a mountain range. You can find more of Joan’s work and artwork titles to ponder on her website.
