2 C Ballena 1

A little whale to wear close, all smooth curves and clean engraved lines. The Spanish title gives it away: ballena means whale, and that is exactly what this flat pendant charm depicts. A plump, stylised whale lies on its side with a broad swept tail fluke, a small side flipper and gently engraved lines marking the eye and the curve of its belly. A little integrated loop rises from the top edge, ready to take a jump ring so it can hang from a chain or cord. The warm copper-bronze render shows how nicely the raised edges and recessed line-work will catch the light once it is cast or printed and polished. It suits anyone drawn to the sea: a necklace pendant, a zip or keyring charm, a nautical gift, or a small run of matching ocean-themed jewellery. Print notes • The flat, low-relief form prints face-up with almost no supports, or casts beautifully via lost-wax from a castable resin. • Standard resin gives a smooth surface for a painted or sealed finish; metal-castable resin lets you take it to silver or bronze. • Check the hanging loop's hole clears your chosen jump ring before scaling, since it is the smallest feature. • Sand or tumble-polish the edges, then wax or plate for a lasting shine.
