I’ve been reading some extremely bizarre young adult science fiction, which makes it seem perfectly reasonable that a golden orb, flattened and pierced, would float by. And the sky’s been cloudy the last few nights, obscuring the moon and anything else that might choose to swing past Earth. So here’s what I’m imagining I’d see if I looked up.

I played with epoxy resin this week, filling molds and filling things that aren’t molds (like this watch back). But the resin set at the same time that we had a freeze, and now all I can see when I look at the clear resin is the ice that’s glistening beautifully but keeping my car doors from closing, my windshield wipers from moving, and my feet from being able to walk without slipping.

Someone stopped by the studio this week to pick up broken vessels that she could use with a kintsugi kit that she’d been gifted. It felt so nice to pass along the pieces to someone who would work faster than I would to give them a new life. And in the spirit of making the broken more beautiful than the whole, this pendant celebrates the spaces created by a rift.

As the year begins I’m diving deeper into the things I’ve been working on for the last many months. Finding what’s on the bottom of my packed hardware drawers, pulling apart the welder to figure out why it’s broken, and thinking about the why’s and wherefores of the arts integration projects that are coming up. It’s a bit hard to tell from the photo, but the springs and the central glass bead on the pendant are deep, rounding out the piece and helping the light shift as it moves.
