Remaking

When my mother got sick back in September, she was wearing this little crystal pendant. Somewhere in the excitement, either when she fell, or somewhere in the EMT/ambulance/ER confusion, it got broken.

I thought it just needed a little epoxy, but turns out there was a little bronze screw eye in the crystal itself that broke off. Maybe an expert with the right tools could replace that, but that wasn’t an option. So I turned it into a wire wrap; a little wabi-sabi fixup aesthetic.

I like how it speaks to how a thing can be remade — not just repaired, put back the way it was before, but transformed into something that is a result of what is was before, who it wasx broken, and a new vision.
