In 1994, I had a license with WARNER BROTHERS to create silver jewelry and leather accessories for their newly born retail shops. This piece is from the Looney Tunes collection, ( and is a major piece of carving I have to say). I love carving wax, and enjoyed making this entire collection of characters and faces.
The Yosemite Sam pendant is glorious in its scale and presence, (at once shocking and then also a laugh pops up). It is a major piece of sterling silver weighing  over 3 oz and measures 4.5″ long x 2.5″ wide. It was also meant to accompanying 6 silver pistols arranged into a funny Squash Blossom necklace, a rare piece that I do not have in my archive library.  Sam can be worn on a wide variety of cords or metal rings, etc.
