Symmetry

1″ x 1.5″, found objects

I’m designing a project for a local organization, and we had to decide whether to make two panels that mirror each other or two different designs.  I always lean toward symmetry.  But I like the symmetry of the handmade, the repetition that’s not a perfect copy, a sister but not a twin.  In this pendant, like in all handmade objects, there’s an imperfection and a balance that sing together.
