What does the fox say?

So I've shown a few work-in-progress photos, but I wanted to show some of the end results. I also wanted to pair up all the Jewelry pieces I've made over the years, since I'm currently making an art portfolio.

The first pair are earrings meant to be abstract fossils, based off the trilobite. The second pair are based off an old OC of mine, which was a small candid that only had three toes. I plan to make those pendants though, or dog tags on something in the future.

The third photo is a size comparison of the pieces to a Quarter.

The Next three photos after that are actually older pieces, my first experiments in real jewelry making, and are pins. The wolf one is based off the Lightning Bear of Native American Mythology, the second one based off an OC of mine, and the third is a pheonix. On it's feathers it reads "From Ashes Dreams Are Born".

Up next is a pendant necklace I made, a tear-shaped droplet of bronze that was created when my first sculpture ruptured during the casting process. I sanded it, polished it up on a buffer wheel, and it became a better piece of art than the original sculpture!

The pieces after that are still works in progress. The largest broken infinity symbol is bound to become a belt buckle, the smaller a necklace. Those tiny droplets are similar to my pendant, and will be buffered up and made into necklaces. I'm hoping to sell them to help support the foundry I cast my pieces at!
