    The real reason to look to nature can be literal, but it can be not
    literal, too. Instead of making (yet another) dolphin pendant, look
    at the graceful arc of it's spine, and just use that - same with a
    greyhound or lots of other things. Plus there's all the other things
    - parts of flowers, trees, shells, seeds. Take 1/32 of some snowflake
    - instant pendant. Diatoms, spores, crystal structure...
