The Creative Process In Action

The idea of making "friendship pendants" has been floating around in my head for quite some time. A few days ago I sat down in my studio to bring them to life.

This was draft #1 that I posted on Facebook and got many great suggestions and constructive criticisms.

Ok Erika, maybe it DOES look like two fetuses hugging

So on to the second take. I got a lot of positive feedback from a suggestion to make Mother/Daughter pendants so with that in mind, I made this...

It's perfect because the smaller heart comes from the center of the larger heart. Very Mother/Daughter symbolic. So I posted this up on my Facebook page and got a TON of positive feedback and interest in this product so I set out to make them real wearable pieces. 

I added holes for the bails

Then soldered bails onto the pieces. 

Polished them up to a gleaming shine.

And voila!! The "always in my heart" Mother/ Daughter duo was born. 

I could not have done it without all of the great suggestions of my Facebook fans, so THANK YOU for your help in making the duo come alive.

p.s. I have been coming up with some more wonderful "friendship" style pendants in the last few days. Keep a look-out here and on my Facebook page to get the first look!
