A while ago I finished the last of the three goldwork astronomical instruments by Cynthia Jackson. They are the Mariners's Compass, the Armillary Sphere and the Astrolabe.
Cynthia's designs are always so interesting and challenging. I never quite get them perfect but they are never-the-less works of art. The black and gold make such a great contrast using black thread and gold metal "threads", wires, beads and leather. They are dimensional with arrows that move, and other parts that lift off of the surface or spin.
