k̓esúsem - not yet in x̄á’islak̓ala
this series is about the time we have with our beloved pet companions, and how it never feels like enough. these have been made during a time heavy with anticipatory grief, being told that my sweet cat Prudence has maybe a month left in her journey here with us. these pieces are about hope, love, joy and enduring connection.
i have been reflecting on our lives together and how much she means to me, and appreciating every moment we have. given the heaviness that surrounds this theme, i’ve smudged these pieces a lot. i hope these remind you of the good times and not only the hard ones, and help you carry the load of grief knowing so many of us go through these feelings.
i just happened to make 14 pairs for this sale, one for each year she has been alive :*)

these are about the emptiness and void that is left when our loved ones leave us, but remind us that they will always be with us just in a different form.
these hang about four inches on surgical steel nickel free hooks. they are made with clear glass czech seed beads, and contain:
faceted labradorite for connection to spirit world, your Ancestors, hearing your inner voice, and for protection.
*hooks are sanitized after i model them*
