A friend asked if I could produce a headstone for her mum based on a tiki design - a pounamu she always wore.
There were no pics of the actual pendant so we came up with this design.
The aim was to keep it relatively simple (emerging from the stone rather than 3D) and I added a weaving pattern on the sides to help frame and lift the tiki.
