This pendant responds to a poem that beautifully explores the many reasons that we feel compelled to move. We travel far and wide to be safe and comfortable and loved. All made with glass cane, the colors and shapes on the bottom are separated and searching for the place where they will be welcomed.

I can’t believe I made it through a full year of health-related pendants without making a chocolate-themed one, but better late than never! Here it is, in honor of the chocolate-making class that I get to take today! Glass has a strange way of looking like chocolate. A long time ago I made a set of flameworked beads in the shapes of chocolates, and this pendant is like the raw material. Split glass smalti looks to me like rich chocolate, crunchy peanut butter and caramel just waiting to be turned into a tasty treat.

This pendant is an interpretation of one more beautiful poem that will be included in the upcoming group show “Translations” opening March 8th in Needham (see events list for more details). I chose the colors to reflect the hues of fall, with the reflective, glowing quality that the evening sun can give, and placed the rough-cut edges of the black glass up to show the irregularity and variety that I love as I watch leaves floating down to the ground.

Even machine-made jewelry findings gain a beauty and a rhythm in multiples.
