Recent Custom Pieces





A tree for a couple getting married, George and Julie.  Here's the story of this pendant:  

 As I was thinking about what this tree would look like, I thought of George and Julie's journeys toward each other. As you can see, the trunk is larger, the sign of a mature tree that had reached a full growth but life can bring unexpected trials that cause the tree to be pruned back. God is a wonderful gardener, however, and it's now that we see that the tree had to be pruned to begin NEW and LUSH growth...this new love and new beginning for these precious friends. This tree symbolizes God's blessing upon their lives. As for the pink, it's a color that reminds me of Julie's diligence in her pursuit of God. In the two classes that I've had with her, I see her writing with her pink pen. It is this pink that captures what she wants to know about God, what she's learning about Him, what she keeps of Him and how God has been there through all the stages of growth and abundance. Her pendant HAD to be pink.
