The piece of jewellery in the picture above has been hand made by Kate Gilliland a friend of mine, with her permission I decided to loosely re-create the pieces in maya and here are sum of the results.
the texturing still needs a lot of work but with a bit more time and effort I hope to get more detail by getting to grips with a software called "Mud box" so watch this space
Above are some more attempts at modeling the Jewellery, these also need work as again the texturing is no quite right as well as the shape of the pearls that sit in the claw earrings, but I'm quite pleased with how both pieces are shaping up.
