Starting Fresh

1″ x 2″, glass and ceramic

There are a lot of transitions happening right now, and they all feel like a way to start fresh.  The Jewish new year just started, my mom’s preparing for surgery that should give her heart a fresh start, and my grandma’s pretty much starting fresh every few minutes these days.  This pendant has a lot of white to represent a blank slate and freshness, but it also has seams and stains to represent what’s come before.  We never start fully fresh, but build on our messy past.
