Sometime midway through last year Carlie started making some of these hanger pendants, playing with some of the ideas she had developed in making a series of asymmetrical earrings for the last couple of years. As often happens in our work, we play with each others ideas, throwing them back and forth between side by side work benches like we have for over 40 years. Carlie made the pendant on the right here. I made the one on the left. I didn't have a complete idea when I started, the design grew a little at a time, Changing several times in the process. Both are mixtures of silver, copper and gold, Carlie's with garnet and pearl, mine with pearl & carnelian agate.
Another hanger pendant by Carlie on the left with black onyx and pearl, mine on the right set with pearl, Mendocino abalone and a small green chrome diopside. We expect this design series idea to be in play for some time and it will be interesting to see where it leads us.
