Description
Last night, I dreamed that I chanced upon an old abandon hut on a misty morning. Curious, I pushed open the weathered door and took a peek inside. The one thing that caught my eye was a peeling white dresser which stood at one corner of the room. I walked towards it instinctively. An old key was still lodged in the keyhole of one of the drawers. It wasn’t locked, so I pried open the drawer slowly in case something sprang out at me! Turns out it was empty. As I was about to shut the drawer, part of the back panel caught the light and I caught a glimpse of some scribbling. I pulled the drawer further out to see what it was. What I saw put a smile on my face. Although it was faded but I could make out that they were a child’s uneven writing and drawings of several stick-people. I woke up at that point and realized that I still had a smile on my face. I could imagine a little girl scribbling on a piece of wood and then perhaps daddy eventually used that piece of wood and made it into part of the dresser for the home.

This mixed media necklace was somewhat inspired by the dream. I loved that idea of the child’s “hidden message” at the back of the drawer. If I had not looked deeper, I wouldn’t have seen it. I was inspired to make a piece with a hidden message. Words that no one would see unless they look deeper. Often times, people go about their lives looking but never consciously understanding. Some messages to us are hidden, and may be hidden forever if we do not attempt to dig deeper within us or look further than what is presented before us.

This piece is an assemblage of repurpose copper, an old barrel key, a piece from an old frayed jeans, stained lace, waxed linen thread, brass and copper wires augmented by fire, Jasper beads, Star Rose Quartz, a vintage brass connector, brass findings and a Polymer Clay tube bead which I made some time back.

*the Necklace wears between 17 – 24 inches, depending on where you place the hook on the chain
*Pendant is 6 inches from PC Bead to end of fray.

*SOLD*
