Item details

This pendant is a small, perfectly formed one of a kind wearable sculpture! It would make a great original gift and is very tactile and smooth to the touch.
This slender pendant sits just below the collar bone and is one a
waxed cotton cord with a hook and chain fastening.
Cast from aqua green recycled glass, that I have crushed into tiny pieced and fired in a mould in my kiln. To release the pendant I have to break the mould, so this is a unique piece.
I cast the angel head directly from the wooden carvings in my town's local church, which has sat by the sea and over looked the town since Saxon times.
Postage and Packing included in the price
6cm x 4cm

Inspiration
In 2018 I had an artist residency in Teignmouth's parish church St Michael's. I am a stained glass artist and the building has amazing stained glass. Over the course of the residency I began to notice the beautiful wooden carvings around the building on the pews and in the rood screen etc. I took plasticine impressions of the beautiful angels and Madonna's faces and cast these impression in crushed, recycled glass. Now I regularly make a few pressings when I visit the beautiful building.
The results include this serene piece.
