1″ w x 2″ h, found objects

This pendant goes back to basics and just uses some of the beautiful antique watch parts that I’ve collected over the years.  Like the lead in a stained glass window, the black epoxy frames and separates each piece.

1.25″ x 1.25″, glass

A very dear friend of mine passed away recently.  She was a mosaic artist who collected wonderful tesserae, and I made this pendant out of pieces from her collection.  While this doesn’t look anything like her work, I know that by using her materials this piece will make me think of her every time I see the moon.

1″ diameter, found objects

This week was my birthday, and I was so busy that I barely had a chance to pause to take a breath (or post a pendant), but being celebrated did make me take a few hours out to enjoy the people around me and to think about the passing year. This design made from seeds and clay beads is meant to reflect a calendar, with a colored bead marking each season of the year.

1″ x 2″ glass and found objects

This pendant is a bit of a mish-mash with pieces of technology, beads, broken glass and pieces from polymer clay canes that I made when I was a child.  If “the blues” are things that make us sad, I like the idea of taking them all and forcing them into an itsy-bitsy frame where somehow, as a collection, they take on a new beauty.
