Quilled seahorse pendant

Some time ago I made many sketches of paper quilled pendants and earrings I'd like to create. I don't have much time to materialize all of those ideas, that's why they show up so slowly. The Hamsa pendant was the first one, and here comes a seahorse. I used hand-cut beige strips for it, gilded the edges using a metallic gold marker. The eye is a red rhinestone. The finished pendant was coated with matte varnish spray. Its length is about 1 3/4'' (4.5cm). I enjoy experimenting with quilled jewelry very much, so more to follow :)
You must also see Ann Martin's exquisite gilded paper pendants! Ann, I know you're reading this, I really love what you do with paper strips.

Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks so much for the compliment and the link to my blog - much appreciated!
Ann, I used Artline 900XF GOLD marker, but unfortunately it loses shine after a couple of days :( I will try acrylic paint next time.
P.S: Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, I'm from Uruguay and my mother tongue is Spanish.
P.S. You're very clear, and English isn't my mother tongue either :)
