The idea for this began years ago when Kathleen Kay set 'Fire' as our themed subject. I was too busy to do more than a token item for it and made copper dragons, riveted together with gold wire. Although it didn't win, several people liked the idea and I went on to make Mark II in silver.
The design looks horribly spiky to wear, but, because it is curved to fit over the collar bones of the wearer, it is actually quite comfortable - even on bare skin.
Each piece - tails, bodies, heads, tongues and the ball of fire in the centre is separate, connected by tubing rivets with tiny flame shaped enamelled heads. This allows the whole thing to move and settle itself in wear.
