Slice of Life - Jewelry for a Cause
This most important work in pendants and earrings
celebrates all
that life has to offer, and encourages us
to live, love, and give to the extreme.
Two years ago, I cut a piece of glass in the shape of a
watermelon slice. When I
included this slice into a
larger piece, I felt the watermelon slice celebrated
life, and symbolized good, fun, light, hope, and
happiness.
About a week later, a dear friend’s family began the
fight against colon cancer. They came to me and asked if
I could make a piece that could be worn to unite family
and friends, a symbol of love and hope. My newest
design, the Slice-Of-Life seemed perfect.
I continue to make the Slice-Of-Life pieces, and they
have become an important part of my work. I decided that
out of respect, love, and hope for all who fight disease
that a portion of the proceeds from these pieces would
be donated to a charity for hope, and as my friend’s
family wishes, to Hospice.
A portion of the proceeds
from the Slice-Of-Life sales will go to local Hospice
programs, and other local charities devoted to helping
families fighting disease.
To date, donations have
been made to Hospice programs in New Hampshire, Maine,
and Florida.
