Bone Series Bracelet with Fire Agate

I came to my bench the other night the way some arrive at a church,

just there to pray and thank and receive 

to offer all of the gratitude this beautiful life is worthy of

and weep a little for feeling lost.

As I sat with my sketchbook this wonderful little set of doodles kept cycling,

these little spiky/soft earrings

with multiple layers and 

delicate symbols

growing out of their middles

like a language

.

As I hammered quietly and worked the ideas into life

such a warmth and peace came over me,

like every little bit was soothing

and humming

and comforting me

.

I have not yet nor do I ever expect to have something like this happen to me,

to have arrived in studio to fabricate as a means of wrapping myself in what I know

having come from the outside world that felt too new and raw

and having the pieces born of that look like alien text

that so clearly reads as both protective and loving

.

I worked long and late.

I made a few pairs for you, too.

I hope they bring you comfort

when you need it most...

little shields

little paddles to the sea

little lilting voices

singing you home.

xoxo,

Sunny
