Beautiful Likeness of a Unique Duck
In 2018 a Mandarin duck appeared in Central Park, New York seemingly out of nowhere. That sparked my fascination with this duck. I was surprised and pleased to find this sculpture years later and was able to "capture" my own Mandarin duck. I love the sculpture and the incredible attention to detail and the realistic faithfulness to the duck. Okay, the real duck looks a little like a toy as well, but I am thrilled to have another sculpture by Nengah Sudarsana, and this one joins my small flock of ducks by him. Perhaps I'll take it to the lake in Central Park and see if another real one will show up to keep mine company.
Nicely detailed, sterling silver cuff bracelet
I recently purchased this beautiful sterling silver cuff elephant design bracelet. I love it! The detail is exquisite, and it has good weight to it. The only negative is the size. Like so many bracelets that I've bought from NOVICA artisans, this cuff bracelet is HUGE, and I do not have "dainty" wrists. Since it's a cuff, I can apply gentle pressure to close it tighter, but I do not want to misshape it, so I have to be very careful. Even at its tightest, this bracelet fits more like a bangle, falling down to the top of my hand, instead staying tightly cuffed around my wrist. This seems to be a regular occurrence from NOVICA artists. I love the uniqueness and the craftsmanship of NOVICA jewelry, but the craftsmen often size women's bracelets too big.
