.5″ x 2″, glass
How I wish it were the season when flowers were blooming instead of wilting and withering! I put together a pendant made from hand-pulled cane to bring a few of spring’s colors with me into the winter months.

When I was in High School I was art editor for the student art and lit magazine. I ran weekly critiques where we looked at submissions and then voted on whether to publish them. In my memory, the critiques were actually quite respectful and thoughtful. We thought about contrast, design, message, and applied all the art concepts we were learning in art class. The one that feels most relevant today is “too busy”. It’s easy to fill a canvas or a piece of paper with too much. You lose the subject and the noise wins. And this, my pendant for the week, is an ode to “too busy”, in art and in life.

If someone says that something is “cookie cutter” it’s not usually a good thing. It’s generic, just like all the rest. But for me, cookie cutters have only positive connotations. Anything that helps me bring more cookies into the world is a friend of mine! As soon as I added the eyes from a set of hooks and eyes to the little silver triangles in the pendant it looked too much like cookie cutters for me to think about anything else. And then, of course, the beads became sprinkles.
