Relic

1″x 2″, found objects

Every time we see my in-laws we’re each given a bag of goodies.  Everything from  sweets to travel-sized toothpaste to jewelry, it’s all the things that my mother-in-law has thoughtfully collected over the past months.  And my goodie bags have extra special things in them; broken bits that need to become part of something new.  In the most recent bag there was a piece of hematite that became the center of this pendant.  It look like it was carved like a shark’s tooth and hung in a finding, but the finding is gone, and it was just a stone.  Each of the goodie bag gifts comes with a story, relics of a time gone by or a trip taken.  And here are a few, to create new stories together.
